2440 - SUMMER SCHOOL
The Board of Education shall conduct a summer program of academic instruction as directed by the Ohio Revised Code for resident students of this District.

Summer school instruction may be designed to provide opportunities for students to:

	A.	improve a poor grade;
	B.	improve learning skills;
	C.	make up a failed course;
	D.	enrich a scholastic program;
	E.	explore new academic areas.

The Board shall annually approve a summer school program. In order to support such a program of summer instruction, the Board will:

	A.	employ teaching and administrative staff;
	B.	purchase such books, materials, supplies, and equipment as may be necessary;
	C.	appoint the director;
	D.	make available school facilities as required;
	E.	provide necessary custodial services.

Instructional fees may be charged to all students, when necessary.

With regard to transportation, the Board accepts responsibility for disabled and disadvantaged students if the IEP Team so determines.

The Board shall provide a Federal food service program for students during summer intervention programs that are mandated under Federal law. The Board will offer a food service program during:

	A.	summer remediation provided to students who scored lower than "proficient" on the third grade reading achievement test;
	B.	summer intervention services provided to students who took practice versions of the Ohio Graduation Tests in ninth grade; and
	C.	any future summer intervention programs required under law.

If the Board determines that it is unable to provide a Federal food service program during the summer, for financial reasons, the Board will communicate that decision to its residents in a manner it determines to be appropriate.

The Superintendent shall be responsible for developing administrative guidelines for the operation of the summer program which shall be consistent with Board policies and not conflict in any way with the administration of the regular school sessions of the District.
