Handbooks outlining any course offered in the District should be approved by the Superintendent, and shared with the Board, in advance of the school year in which the courses are to become operative.
Work-Study Programs
Participation by students in a work-study program will be handled by the administration on an individual basis.
Co-curricular and Extra-curricular Activities
The Principal shall coordinate the co-curricular and extra-curricular program or designate a staff member to assume this responsibility.
All new extra-curricular activities shall be approved by the building Principal and recommended to the Superintendent for his/her approval. All recommendations to the Superintendent shall include a statement of purpose of the activity, potential membership to be served, and potential financial obligations, if any, which the Board might have to assume from general school funds.
A faculty sponsor shall be appointed for each activity within the provisions of the master agreement.
Membership and participation in all activities shall be voluntary and limited to students enrolled in the schools. Students shall have the right to participate in all extracurricular activities without discrimination.
Activities sponsored by outside agents shall be carefully reviewed and approved by the Superintendent for participation if they are co-sponsored by the school. Secondary Principals must be certain that such outside-sponsored activities do not conflict with standards and criteria established by the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
Every effort should be made to keep extracurricular activities from unduly interfering with the regularly scheduled school day and to provide a balanced program of appropriate academic studies and activities for each student.
The administration shall develop rules and regulations covering extracurricular activities in individual buildings. Such rules shall list responsibilities of students and advisors or chaperones.
All activities sponsored by school groups must be adequately supervised and all Board policies and administrative regulations regarding student and teacher conduct, use of facilities, use of transportation, and all other applicable policies and regulations shall be followed. Activities, which may require the expenditure of general school funds, shall require Board approval.
Homebound Instruction
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) shall request homebound instruction from the Superintendent. An application form will be forwarded to the family physician for his/her recommendation and signature.
The application is then returned to the Superintendent. Should the request meet the state guidelines, the Superintendent will then obtain a teacher for the student.
The Superintendent then notifies the Principal of the building in regard to the status of the student and supplies him/her with the name of the homebound teacher.
The Principal then notifies the student’s teacher and supplies the teacher with the student’s status and the name of the homebound teacher.
The re-entering of the student to regular classes discontinues the homebound instruction.
