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 District Administrator to develop work-site training programs as part of the vocational education curriculum. S/He shall develop guidelines whereby all such programs are reviewed to determine whether or not an employer relationship has been established according to criteria established by the Supreme Court in adjudicating cases related to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Particular attention should be paid to community-based programs for students with disabilities 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.
