PART-TIME ENROLLMENT
The parent, guardian, or custodian of a student receiving instruction at a private, denominational, or parochial school, or a school choosing not to meet accreditation or approval requirements may also enroll the student in the school district. The district’s application form for part-time enrollment must be received by the Superintendent by August 1st of the school year for the student to be considered for part-time enrollment. The Superintendent may waive the application deadline upon written request by the parent/guardian.
The parent, guardian, or custodian requesting part-time enrollment for the student shall indicate the academic courses and extracurricular activities in which the student will participate. Considerations of educational appropriateness and district capacity limits that generally apply to option enrollment students will also apply to part-time students. Part-time students will not receive priority over full-time students.
A part-time enrollment student is eligible to participate in the school district's academic and extracurricular activities in the same manner as other students enrolled in the school district to the extent allowed within NSAA regulations. The student must be enrolled in five credit hours at the district in a semester during the year. The policies and administrative rules of the school district shall apply to the part-time enrollment students in the same manner as the other students enrolled the school district. These policies and administrative rules shall include, but not be limited to, athletic eligibility requirements, rules governing student conduct, academic eligibility requirements, and payment of the fees required for participation. Full-time and part-time students shall have the same opportunities and expectations to participate in extracurricular activities regardless of full- or part-time status.
The district will not provide transportation to and from the school for part-time students.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to develop administrative regulations as needed regarding deadlines, specific courses or activities approved, restrictions of classroom space, maximum or minimum course number limitations and other procedures for this policy.
