TAMS allows pregnant students to spend part or all of their pregnancy and up to six months after the birth at school. Enrollment in both programs has risen since 1991-92.

Under the district's zero-tolerance policy, students who commit minor violations may be placed at SLGC alongside students who have committed more serious offenses.
