AE03 - Juneau County Adolescent Needs (JCAN)
The Juneau County Adolescent Needs School (JCAN) is designed for students who have been identified with an
emotional behavioral disability and are experiencing significant behavioral, social and academic difficulties in a
traditional school setting. JCAN is a program designed to transition students back to their home school district
or employment.
JCAN staff focus on instruction that is directly linked to the Common Core State Standards, while focusing on
each individual student’s academic and social-emotional needs. The school provides a highly structured
setting that encourages positive behavioral feedback and supports for students. Cost per student is based on
student membership and FTE in the program.
How Can This Service Benefit Your District?
We strive to provide students who have significant behavioral needs with a safe, honest, secure, and
positive learning environment which will allow each student to grow emotionally and intellectually so
they can be educated in the least restrictive environment.
AE04 - Juneau County Charter School (JCCS)
The Juneau County Charter School is based on the philosophy that many students’ educational needs cannot
be met through traditional models. Our goal is to provide an alternative learning environment to students
(ages 12-18) who have experienced problems engaging in more conventional forms of education. Students
seeking admission to this school may have encountered difficulty making strong interpersonal connections in a
school setting, relating to the purpose of school, gaining a positive sense of self-esteem, or perhaps failing to
understand the relevance of school to the “real world”.
JCCS will remove these barriers to learning as students receive an education based on the concept that each
person learns best when engaging in activities that apply directly to their lives. In addition, students attending
JCCS will work toward basic academic competency with emphasis on skills needed for social and vocational
success. Cost per student is based on student membership and FTE in the program.
How Can This Service Benefit Your District?
Our Mission is to promote academic, emotional, social, and vocational growth through the creation of
a positive alternative-learning environment that places special emphasis on the individual.
