The parent, guardian, or custodian of a student receiving competent private instruction may also enroll the student in the school district in accordance with state law and policy. The student will be considered under dual enrollment. The parent, guardian, or custodian requesting dual enrollment for the student should notify the superintendent’s secretary no later than September 15 of the school year in which dual enrollment is sought on forms provided by the school 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 school district's extracurricular and academic activities in the same manner as other students enrolled in the school district. The policies and administrative rules of the school district will apply to the dual enrollment students in the same manner as the other students enrolled in the school district. These policies and administrative rules will include, but not be limited to, athletic eligibility requirements, activity standards, 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.
The school district will notify the dual enrollment student of the extracurricular and academic activities in which the student wishes to participate.
The applicable legal requirements for dual enrollment including, but not limited to those related to reporting and eligibility, will be followed. It will be the responsibility of the superintendent to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
