Definition: The high school alternative cohort in any given year shall consist of those students enrolled in the high school on the first Wednesday of October three years previously who were still enrolled in the school on the first Wednesday of October two years previously minus those students who:  subsequently transferred to another high school, enroll in an approved GED program and remained enrolled in the program until the end of the cohort time period or received a GED;  became incarcerated;  have left the country;  are deceased. Students may be members of only one alternative high school cohort. In the 2011 alternative high school cohort, include students who first enrolled in school between the day after BEDS day 2011 and BEDS day 2012 who were still enrolled in the school on BEDS day 2013. Data should be submitted to [email protected] by Friday, October 9, 2015.

For accountability decisions based on 2014-15 school year data, if the 2011 alternative high school cohort consists of fewer than 30 students, then data for the 2010 school year alternative high school cohort should be provided. If the district would like SED to compute a safe harbor target for the school, and the 2010 alternative high school consists of fewer than 30 students, then 2009 school year alternative high school cohort data should also be provided.
