Students pass through a metal detector each morning and receive a pat search. This search entails patting the student’s outer clothing and checking pockets, socks, shoes, hems and waistbands for prohibited items. Prohibited items will be confiscated (failure to comply could lead to suspension). Male students will be searched by trained male staff and females are searched by trained female staff. Suspensions Please remember that the AISD Student Code of Conduct is in effect at the ALC. If a student engages in either physically or verbally aggressive behavior (fighting, abusive/threatening language directed at a staff member, or repetitive use of profanity after redirect) he or she will be assigned to either PRC or a home suspension at the discretion of an administrator. Disciplinary Removal Hearings Please note that disciplinary removal hearings are required for mandatory offenses as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. Transportation During the registration and enrollment process AISD bus transportation arrangements are made. AISD buses are available for all students. AISD buses pick up students close to home and return them to the same location at the end of the day. Students may not drive to or from school or park vehicles in the ALC neighborhood. Student vehicles parked on campus are subject to be towed and impounded at the owner’s expense. Parents please note that AISD transportation for special education students is scheduled by the home school during the removal process. Until such transportation is finalized and scheduled, parents are responsible for getting their child to and from the ALC. Any changes to bus stops must be requested in person in our Registrar’s Office (414-3692/3658). At the end of the school day we escort all students to the designated bus area which is the Northwest side parking lot of our campus. Students who choose to take the city bus home also depart the building from the Northwest exit. Parents if you are picking up your student, please do so at 4:15pm at 4900 Gonzales
