This alternative school isn't your run-of-the-mill institution, it's a beacon of support for its students and the local community. With unique programs like the Choice Program for at-risk students, the 18+ Program for post-high schoolers, and the Discipline Program for guidance, Linda Tutte extends far beyond just academics. The real highlight though is the Linda Tutte Grocery Store, an innovative initiative developed to not only address mental health but to also combat food insecurities.
The story of the grocery store program's inception, borne out of a casual conversation with a parent, is as inspiring as it is remarkable. The program now serves as a much-needed resource for many students and the community, especially amidst the challenges of COVID. Hear how the school manages the unique challenges of having a mobile student population and the strides they've made in their mission to prepare students to be active participants in their community.
