Learn about how CPS defines a school
ALOPs are managed by external operators and offer self-paced, blended learning models with a half day scheduling option that follow all CPS policies and procedures.
Any 14 or 15 year old student who wishes to enroll in an ALOP must go through the 14/15 Year Old ALOP Enrollment Process.
*Elementary schools with 7th and 8th grades and no high school grades, this applies only to traditional elementary school LSCs.
**High schools with K-12, 7-12, 9-12, and 11-12 grades, this applies only to traditional high school LSCs.

In addition to the standard composition of elected LSCs, the Appointed LSCs of small or alternative schools may have advocates and education experts. Military schools may have a Commandant, JROTC instructor, and Cadet Commander. Not all small or military schools will fill these LSC member positions.
