Code Number: 604.3
The parent, guardian, or custodian of a student receiving competent private instruction may also enroll the student in the District in accordance with state law and policy. The student is considered under dual enrollment. The parent, guardian, or custodian requesting dual enrollment for the student should notify the Board secretary no later than September 15 of the school year in which dual enrollment is sought on forms provided by the District. On the form, they will indicate the extracurricular and academic activities in which the student is interested in participating. The forms are available at the central administration office.
A dual enrollment student is eligible to participate in the District’s extracurricular and academic activities in the same manner as other students enrolled in the District. The policies and administrative rules of the District will apply to the dual enrollment students in the same manner as the other students enrolled in the District. These policies and administrative rules will include, but not be limited to, athletic eligibility requirements, the good conduct rule, academic eligibility requirements, and payment of applicable fees.
A dual enrollment student whose parent, guardian, or custodian has chosen standardized testing as the form of the student’s annual assessment will not be responsible for the cost of the test or the administration of the test.
After the student notifies the District of the activities in which they wish to participate, the District will provide information regarding the specific programs. The applicable legal requirements for dual enrollment, including those related to reporting and eligibility, shall be followed.
