Any student participating in either of these programs shall be granted a
high school diploma upon evidence that he has completed the required
academic work.
A student intending to enroll in a post-secondary program must give written
notice to his/her counselor two months in advance of his/her enrollment.
The notice must include a description of all course work for which he/she
plans to enroll and for which he/she requests high school graduation credit.
The counselor will determine which of the requested courses will be granted
high school graduation credit. Credit will be denied for courses which do
not meet or do not exceed graduation requirements in subject content or grade.
Credit also will be denied for courses which duplicate those offered by the
school unless the student has encountered scheduling conflicts.
If the counselor denies credit toward graduation for any of the requested
courses, he/she will notify the student in writing of the reason with 10
working days of receipt of the enrollment notice. He/she also will provide
the student with a copy of the procedures and forms for appeal to the Board
of Education.
If the student decides to appeal to the Board, he/she must file the appeal
within 10 working days after receiving notice of denial of credit.
The Board must notify the student in writing of its decision within 20 working
days of his/her filing the appeal. If the Board upholds the denial of high
school credit, it must provide the student with procedures and form for appeal
to the State Board of Education.
An appeal to the state board must be filed within 10 working days of the
decision of the local board.
Any student who enrolls in postsecondary courses should be expected to show
a high degree of maturity and responsibility, especially with regard to the
successful completion of such postsecondary courses. An important method
of fostering such responsibility is to require the student, or his or her
family, to pay the tuition costs associated with such postsecondary courses,
subject to reimbursement by the school district upon successful completion
of such postsecondary courses. The district shall not be responsible for
the costs of transportation, room and board, fees, books or equipment.
Fast Track Program
Any student who has completed the requirements for graduation may take one
or more higher education courses during his/her senior year. He/she shall
remain eligible for sanctioned high school activities if he meets the academic
and residency qualification.
