The Board of Education encourages the enrollment of all school-age children resident in this District in public schools or in approved parochial or private schools so that they may enjoy the benefits of a well-planned educational program and the socialization possible in a group environment.

The Board recognizes its responsibility for assuring that every school-age child resident in the District is enrolled in an approved school or is offered an equivalent education elsewhere. The Board reserves the right to request the parents or guardians of a child offered an educational program outside the schools to provide sufficient information regarding that program to base a decision as to its equivalency. Said information shall include but need not be limited to: the qualifications of the teacher(s), the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the curriculum, the sufficiency of the facilities and instructional materials, the instructional schedule, the regularity of the child's attendance, and the accomplishments of the child.

Upon receipt of the foregoing information, the Board shall transmit its findings to the County Superintendent of Schools to determine if such child may be excused from attendance in the public schools of this District. If any person should fail to provide the requested information, s/he shall be reported to the municipal authorities so that action may be taken to ensure that the child is properly educated.

The Board shall not allow a student who is being educated at home or at a nondistrict school to participate in any of the District's co-curricular or extra-curricular activities.
