The Board of Education recognizes the value to students and to the District for students to participate in programs offered by accredited colleges and universities in Ohio.

The Board will allow students in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 who meet the criteria to enroll in approved post secondary programs while in attendance in the District. Students will be eligible to receive secondary credit for completing any of these programs providing they meet the established requirements.

No student may participate without the written consent of parents if under the age of eighteen (18). Counseling services are specified in State statute mandated for all students opting to participate in this educational program.

The Superintendent shall establish the necessary administrative guidelines to ensure that such program are in accord with State regulations and are properly communicated to both the students and their parents. The Superintendent shall also establish guidelines and procedures for the awarding of credit and the proper entry on a student's transcript and other records of his/her participation in a post secondary program.
