Keith Lynn and its program,
commonly known as KLASS,
caters to 91 students in grades
eight, nine and 10 who have emo-
tional or behavioral difficulty fit-
ung into mainstream schools.

The intensive, structured pro-
gram run by teachers and child-
care workers aims to prepare stu-
dents to return to mainstream
schools.

North Vancouver School District
set up KLASS to help cope with
high dropout rates and other pro-
blems 12 years ago.

Chris Kelly, an accreditor and
district principal, told the board
that the program successfully at-
tracts and deals with students hav-
ing difficulty in schools.

“Among students there I found
a sense of direction where there
hadn’t been a sense of direction
before,” Kelly said.

“The word on the street is that
KLASS might be a good place to
get into if you can get on the
waiting list,’? he said.

Kelly said when he visited
KLASS, students sought him to
praise the value of the school. He
added that the teachers worked
well together. ‘There is an in-
sistence on quality.”’

Lorne Schemmer,
judicator
Sutherland Secondary School, said
that students who left Sutherland
to attend KLASS and then return-
ed to Sutherland showed marked
improvement in their school work.

The program’s success largely
depends on small classes and close
pupil-teacher relations, Schemmer

NORTH VANCOUVER
Alternative school
sets the standard

NORTH VANCOUVER’S Keith Lynn Alternative. Second-
ary School is the provincial standard, an accreditation team
told North Vancouver School Board Tuesday.

said.

He said that of 21 students
graduating from grade 10 at
KLASS this year, 16 will be return-
ing to mainstream high schools in
September.

Board member Don Bell ques-
tioned why the program had a 50-

student waiting list and took up to
three months to enter. Bell said
when he had a son who agreed to
enter KLASS after repeatedly play-
ing hooky, he worried that his son
would change his mind before
entering the program.

But assistant superintendent
Tom Carlile said: ‘‘Maybe that
time... gives a sense of value to
KLASS."’ Students and their
parents must request admittance to
KLASS and go through a series of
interviews before even being put
on a waiting list.
