SERIES 5000: STUDENTS, CURRICULUM, AND ACADEMIC MATTERS

5300 Student Enrollment, Attendance, and Records

5304 Nonpublic School Students; Part-Time Attendance

A resident student who attends a nonpublic school or who is home-schooled and who otherwise meets the enrollment requirements in Policies 5302 and 5303, has the right to enroll in nonessential elective courses (including co-curricular activities associated with those courses) that the District provides to public school students in the same grade level or age group. The District may provide instruction in nonessential elective courses to students at a nonpublic school site, consistent with state law and subject to constitutional constraints, so long as comparable instruction is provided to public school students in the same grade level or age group. The District may also permit nonresident, home-schooled and nonpublic school students to enroll in nonessential elective courses that the District provides to students in the same grade level or age group consistent with state law and subject to constitutional constraints.

A nonpublic, part-time student, regardless of residency and instructional location, is subject to the same course requirements and prerequisites that apply to all other District students. A nonpublic, part-time student is subject to all District rules and applicable student codes of conduct.

The District is not required to provide transportation to a nonpublic, part-time student.

The Superintendent or designee must ensure that all courses and related optional experiences offered or provided to nonpublic, part-time students satisfy the requirements of state and federal law and applicable provisions of the Michigan Pupil Accounting Manual.
