AE07 - Waupaca County Charter School - WCCS Waupaca County Charter School (WCCS) is able to address the educational, behavioral and socio-emotional needs of many students. This charter school provides a highly structured educational environment which focuses on cognitive behavioral interventions and personal accountability for one’s own decision making. The individual educational needs of students are met with active, hands-on instruction. Because of our partnership with Northwest Journeys, the school is able to focus on developing individualized treatment plans for those students that benefit from specialized group therapy, while still focusing on academic and social emotional outcomes. The long-term outcomes of this program include reintegration of the student to a traditional education program, a decrease in their community problems and an ability to connect with the community, and fostering a sense of responsibility in one’s community. Secondary outcomes include an improvement in the quality of life for both the students and their families, through academic, vocational growth and increased personal responsibilities for one’s decisions and behavior. Cost per student is based on student membership and FTE in the program. How Can This Service Benefit Your District? Our Mission is to assist students in developing the skills needed to become productive, successful and contributing members of the community. We strive to provide students with a safe, honest, secure, and positive learning environment that will allow each student to grow emotionally and intellectually in the least restrictive setting. 27
