Individual Student Alternative Education Plan (ISAEP)

The integration of the Individual Student Alternative Education Plan (ISAEP) with the existing alternative education programs in the Richmond City Schools will greatly help students 16 and 17 years old. The Adult Career Development Center will encourage them to continue both their academic and vocational education. Students will not only find the need to remain in school, but will be encouraged to recognize missed opportunities. Qualifications are set for the students to meet in order to take the official GED test before turning 18 years old.
