Educational services may include, but is not limited to, tutoring, alternative educational programs, including on-line programs authorized by state law, or vocational education programs that provide instruction in the academic areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies. In addition to educational services, the student or parent/guardian may request any of the services provided by the district through agreements with state agencies and community organizations for at-risk students.
The educational services may be provided directly by the district or through agreements with state agencies and community organizations entered into pursuant to state law. The services need not be provided on school district property.
The district shall determine the amount of credit the student shall receive toward graduation for the educational services provided.
Educational services provided by the district shall be designed to provide a second chance for the student to succeed. While receiving educational services, a student may be suspended or expelled pursuant to the conduct and discipline code of the district. Except as required by federal law for special education students, any student who is suspended or expelled while receiving educational services pursuant to this policy shall not receive further services until the period of suspension or expulsion is completed.
Students who are expelled for conduct or behavior involving a threat of harm to district students or personnel shall be served in an alternative setting designed to address such conduct or behavior, at the discretion of the school district.
All expelled students receiving services will be included in the district's pupil enrollment, including those expelled prior to the October count date.
If a student is expelled for the remainder of the school year and is not receiving educational services through the district, the school district shall contact the expelled student's parent, guardian, or legal custodian, at least once every sixty days until the student is eligible to re-enroll, to determine whether the student is receiving educational services; except that the school
district need not contact a student's parent, guardian, or legal custodian after the student is enrolled in another school district or in an independent or parochial school, or if the student is committed to the Department of Human Services, or is sentenced through the juvenile justice system.
