Long Term Suspension Program
The Long Term Suspension Program provides full day supervision and required instruction for high school students who have been suspended from school for 10 days or more. Instruction in each of the core content areas is provided by certified teachers. A school counselor provides student support. Program is offered at Northtowns Academy (Tonawanda) and the Erie 1 BOCES Learning Center (West Seneca).
This suspension program allows for continued instruction as the student is away from their home district.
