2440 - SUMMER SCHOOL

The School Board may conduct a summer program of academic instruction, State-mandated testing and assessments remediation, and/or recreational activities at the K-12 levels for resident students of this Corporation and such other students as the Board may admit.

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

1. improve a poor grade;

2. improve learning skills;

3. make up a failed course;

4. enrich a scholastic program;

5. explore new academic areas.

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

1. employ teaching and administrative staff;

2. purchase such books, materials, supplies, and equipment as may be necessary;

3. appoint the director;

4. make available school facilities as required;

5. provide necessary custodial services.

Fees may be charged to students domiciled within the Corporation, but shall be charged for nonresident students at rates as determined by the Board.

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 Corporation.
