REACH Classroom

The REACH (Responsibility - Equality - Accountability - Character - Hope) Program in Glenn County serves as a multifaceted alternative education setting designed to accommodate students from various backgrounds requiring non-traditional educational pathways. This program is structured to support students through three distinct enrollment categories, each tailored to meet specific needs and circumstances. Enrollment in the REACH Program and, by extension, William Finch Charter School is entirely voluntary. Parents must actively choose this option for their child, signifying their consent and willingness to engage with the program's offerings, regardless of Level.

Level 1. Alternative Education Setting

The REACH Program serves as an alternative educational setting for students who, despite receiving multiple levels of support, have not yet succeeded in their home districts. It is meticulously designed to provide a supportive and constructive learning environment that upholds high expectations for both behavior and academics. This ensures that students remain actively engaged and continue their education effectively.

Level 2. Expelled Students

This level caters to students who have been expelled from their regular schools due to disciplinary actions. For families opting into the REACH Program following a student's expulsion, the enrollment process involves willingly choosing to enroll in the William Finch Charter School, where the REACH Program is administered. 

Level 3. Probation Students

This category is specifically designed for students who are on probation and need a structured educational setting that can support their unique legal and personal development requirements. When a student is referred by probation (pursuant to the Welfare and Institutions Code sections 300, 601, 602, 654), on probation or parole, he/she may enroll in the REACH program.
