Expertise- vs. Consumer-oriented Approach – Many school districts offer alternative choices for high schools.  Some of these choices include: charter schools, school of choice, and online schools.

• Assume there is no public high school in your community, review some of the alternative choices or options that would fit your criteria for a high school.  From one of your selection, provide the web link to the program.
