Admission and Denial of Admission

 

Admission

All persons age 6 and under 21 who have not graduated from high school or received any document evidencing completion of the equivalent of a secondary curriculum and reside within the boundaries of this school district may be permitted to attend public schools without payment of tuition. 

A birth certificate or other proof of legal age, as well as proof of residence, will be required by the school administration.

Students new to the district will be enrolled conditionally until records, including discipline records, from the schools previously attended by the student are received by the district. Notice of the conditional enrollment status of new students will be clearly indicated on all new student enrollment forms. In the event the student’s records indicate a reason to deny admission, the student’s conditional enrollment status will be revoked. The student’s parent/guardian will be provided with written notice of the denial of admission. The notice will inform the parent/guardian of the right to request a hearing.

Denial of Admission

The Board of Education or the superintendent may deny admission to the schools of the district in accordance with applicable law. 

The Board will provide due process of law to students and parents/guardians through written procedures consistent with law for denial of admission to a student.

The policy and procedures for denial of admission shall be the same as those for student suspension and expulsion inasmuch as the same section of the law governs these areas. (See regulation JKD/JKE-R).

Nondiscrimination

The Board, the superintendent, other administrators, and district employees will not unlawfully discriminate based on a student’s disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, religion, ancestry, or need for special education services in the determination or recommendation of action under this policy.
