Within this structured environment, education and behavior management are vehicles by which we provide the students with a wide variety of experiences designed to increase academic skills and promote the development of appropriate social behaviors. Both are necessary for successful participation in society. Safe School: The Regional Safe School Program (RSSP) is designed to serve general education students in grades 6-12. These students have been expelled or administratively transferred from their district school due to gross misconduct. The RSSP began serving Illinois students in FY97 and is based upon PA 89-383 which provided for a system of alternative education programs for disruptive students. Below is the citation from the Illinois School Code specifying the criteria for an appropriate referral to a Safe School Program. Illinois School Code 5/13A - 2.5 Definition of "Disruptive Student": "Disruptive Student" includes suspension or expulsion eligible students in any of grades 6 through 12.
