Burket Proposed To House Alternative Ed Program
MENTONE - The Burket school was recommended as a possible home to Tippecanoe Valley's proposed Alternative Education Program at Monday's board meeting. The possibility of housing the new program at Burket was met with dissent from parents, citizens and a teacher. Jack Fisher, Burket Elementary School teacher, opposed the move because it is not based on financial need, it will not support a family atmosphere in Burket and the school corporation is not yet sure of the cost or of how many students will attend the alternative program. Concerned parents questioned the reasons for locating the alternative school in Burket and how that would affect their children.If the program is in Burket, current Burket Elementary students will attend Mentone, a transition that parents fear could be difficult for their children.
