I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
It is important to note that the
pilot alternative learning settings are intended for students who have been excluded
for physical violence or are identified as at high risk of committing acts of
serious physical aggression.
(1) A total of
$2.6 million has been allocated to the pilot across three sites.
(2) Initially,
the pilot program will run for the 2019 school year.
(3) We will be
undertaking an external evaluation to gauge success.
