behavioral problems. If children do not qualify for the program, other
distrit resources could be made available to them.
Children remain in the Bridge program for the entire year and upon

year. Whenever possible children are placed in the school closest to home.
The maximum enrollment in the program is 45 students and classes range in
size from 12 - 15 students. The Bridge Placement Committee convenes every
spring and reviews student referrals from kindergarten teachers.
