Ombudsman - Alternative Learning
The Paulding County Ombudsman Program is designed to serve middle and high school students who have been referred through a tribunal, have enrolled from another school district in which the student was served in the alternative setting but had not yet completed the assignment or through a referral. Acceptance to the Paulding County Ombudsman Program is determined after a referral has been made by the Board of Education and an intake interview conducted by the Ombudsman program personnel. Students must agree to follow all program regulations, to maintain good behavior, to follow the student code of conduct, to work consistently on assignments, and to attend regularly.
