The RODEO program is an Individual Student Alternative Education Plan (ISAEP) program that provides an alternative pathway for qualifying secondary students to meet compulsory attendance requirements, complete high school by earning a high school equivalency (HSE) credential (GED®), and prepare for a successful transition to postsecondary education and/or workforce opportunities by developing career and technical skills. The ISAEP program is designed for students who are at least 16 years of age, enrolled in high school, and who are having difficulty finding success in a traditional classroom environment.
The RODEO program is located in the Amelia Pride Building next to P. L. Dunbar Middle School for Innovation.
