Admission
All persons age 6 and under 21 who have not graduated from high school or received any document evidencing completion of the equivalent of a secondary curriculum (G.E.D.), and who reside within the boundaries of this school district may be permitted to attend public schools without payment of tuition. In addition, persons who do not reside in the District may be admitted under Board policies relating to non-resident students or by specific action of the Board.
A birth certificate or other proof of legal age, as well as proof of residence, may be required by the school administration.
Except as otherwise provided by state law concerning enrollment of students in out-of-home placements, students new to the District shall be enrolled conditionally until records, including discipline records, from the schools previously attended by the student are received by the District. In the event such records indicate a reason to deny admission, the student's conditional enrollment shall be revoked. Notice of the conditional enrollment status of new students shall be clearly indicated on all new student enrollment forms. The student's parent/guardian shall be provided with written notice of the denial of enrollment. The notice shall inform the parent/guardian of the right to request a hearing.

Fees for Admission
The Board of Education may establish fees for summer school.
Denial of Admission
The Board of Education or the Superintendent may deny admission to the schools of the District for cause. The grounds for denial of admission shall be those established by law.
