Currently there are over 800 members from over          300 ALC&amp;rsquo;s &amp; Alternative programs in Minnesota, surrounding states          and Canada.          The purpose of the organization is to meet the          needs of students, parents, teachers, administrators and the general public          through a professional organization dedicated to the improvement of alternative          education and program options.          Alternative education has significantly            grown in the past 15 years. For example between 1988 and 2005 enrollment                    in Minnesota alternative programs grew from 4,000 students to over 145,000.</summary>

Currently there are over 800 members from over          300 ALC&rsquo;s &amp; Alternative programs in Minnesota, surrounding states          and Canada. </p>         <p>The purpose of the organization is to meet the          needs of students, parents, teachers, administrators and the general public          through a professional organization dedicated to the improvement of alternative          education and program options. </p>         <p align="left">Alternative education has significantly            grown in the past 15 years. For example between 1988 and 2005 enrollment                    in Minnesota alternative programs grew from 4,000 students to over 145,000.</p><div align="left"><br /> </div>           <p align="center">Student Enrollment for Minnesota State          Approved Alternative Programs </p>          <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="80%" align="center">           <tbody><tr bgcolor="#0066cc">            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">Learning Year</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">Number of Students Enrolled</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1988-1989</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">4,050</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1989-1990</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">4,200</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1990-1991</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">13,800</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1991-1992</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">15,400</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1992-1993</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">18,900</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1993-1994</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">28,200</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1994-1995</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">44,575</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1995-1996</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">52,300</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1996-1997</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">54,745*</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1997-1998</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">73,132*</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1998-1999</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">101,666*</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">1999-2000</div>           </td>           <td class="width=">              <div align="center">119,973*</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">2000-2001</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">136,992*</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>            <td width="48%">              <div align="center">2001-2002</div>           </td>           <td width="52%">              <div align="center">146,369*</div>           </td>         </tr>         <tr>           <td><div align="center">2002-2003</div></td>           <td><div align="center">146,285*<br /></div></td>         </tr><tr>           <td><div align="center">2003-2004</div></td>           <td><div align="center">137,626*<br /></div></td>         </tr>       <tr>           <td><div align="center">2004-2005</div></td>           <td><div align="center">145,911*<br /></div></td>         </tr></tbody> </table>          <p align="center">* Per Program Finance, all student numbers have been re-calculated to reflect one enrollment per student, regardless of school/grade changes (as previously calculated).</p> <p align="center">MN Department of Education -

skills, life skills, or cultural awareness. [13]Traditional
School: An established environment designed to provide a comprehensive
education to the general populace and to which assignment of students
is made more on a basis of geographical location than unique
educational need.  [13]Public Alternative Education: Public

a path to the educational goals of the community. Programs focus on
what they can offer the student not on what problems that student has
