HIGH SCHOOL ELECTIVE CREDIT FOR PRIVATE STUDY

 

The Board of Education recognizes that unique situations may exist in which it is to the advantage of a student to receive high school elective credit in appropriate subjects not offered in the approved curriculum of the district. Such credit may be granted when prior approval has been granted by the school, when the elective subject is recognized as appropriate by the State of California, and when the school has concluded that the standards of quantity, quality, and conditions of instruction are reasonably equivalent to those of similar courses provided by the district.

A student enrolled in grades 9-12 may apply to receive credit for private elective study for not more than five (5) credits a semester subject to the qualifications and limitations contained in law, policy, and administrative regulations implementing this policy. To receive credit and/or a grade, the student and parent/guardian shall agree, in writing, to all requirements of the school.

Implementation of this policy shall not result in costs or liabilities to the district. While schools will establish certain requirements in implementing this policy, the district and its schools are not responsible for the quality or conditions of instruction conducted outside of their jurisdiction.
