Overriding Statements

We will maintain a safe, orderly learning environment. Any student that breaks the school rules is subject to expulsion from the George Clem Alternative Success Academy.
The staff will enforce every rule in the handbook and are very strict in what Greeneville City Schools might consider minor rule violations. At the Alternative Success Academy, all rules are important.
The George Clem Alternative Success Academy should be viewed as a second chance for your child. Attendance at the Alternative Success Academy is a privilege, not a right and students may lose that privilege if they break school rules.
Placement at the Alternative Success Academy means your child has been remanded from his/her zoned schools due to either disruptive/defiant behavior or for zero-tolerance behavior. In either case, the Alternative Success Academy is the last public school option for your child at this time.
The Alternative Success Academy will not tolerate unruly behavior while the student is in attendance.
contained within the handbook are the rules, regulations, and other general information you and your child need to know. Your child will be held responsible and accountable for all material within the handbook.
We will do our best to provide a safe, secure, and structured environment; however, we will not tolerate disruptive or defiant behavior within the academy.
