Search for Alternative School Site Continues
By Jack Kimball | January 23Many Orange High School parents might breathe a sigh of relief after the Orange County Board of Education decided Tuesday night to investigate other sites for an alternative school program for struggling students. An existing program in the area, Night Panther, runs from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., but the state mandates an alternative school program that operates during normal school hours. Many parents who spoke at an information session before the meeting said the school system definitely needs an alternative school but do not want it placed at Orange High School.
