2421.01 - STUDENTS AS TRAINEES
The Board of Education recognizes the value of providing students with experiences as part of their preparation for productive employment and appreciates the cooperation of local employers in accommodating such training activities at their places of business.
The Board authorizes the Superintendent to develop work-site training programs as part of the vocational education curriculum. S/He shall develop administrative guidelines whereby all such programs are reviewed to determine whether or not an employer relationship has been established according to the following criteria established by the Supreme Court:
| A. | The training, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to that which would be provided if conducted on District premises. Substance abuse screenings required by employers (for purposes of apprenticeships) of student trainees are neither the responsibility, nor the requirement, of the School District. | |
| B. | The training is for the benefit of the student-trainees. | |
| C. | The student-trainees do not displace the employer's regular employees, but work under their close observation. | |
| D. | The employer derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the student-trainees, and at times, may have his/her operations impeded. | |
| E. | The student-trainees are not guaranteed a job by the employer at the end of the training period. | |
| F. | Both the employer and the student-trainees understand that the student-trainees are not entitled to wages for the time spent in training. |
Particular attention should be paid to community-based programs for special education students and to vocational education programs in which students are producing goods or services for sale and the District is the recipient of the income therefrom.
