5461 - GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYABILITY COMPETENCIES
It shall be the policy of the Board of Education to acknowledge each student's successful completion of those elements of the District's instructional program which provide for the knowledge and skills appropriate for entering the world of work and for participating productively in further education and training programs provided by an employer.
Each graduate from the regular program of the District shall be issued, in addition to a diploma, the Niles City School District's Employability Competency Guarantee. The purpose is to assure any potential employer that a graduate from this School District has demonstrated satisfactory performance of the basic knowledge and skills described in the Guarantee.
Should an employer or prospective employer ascertain that a graduate who has been awarded such a Guarantee cannot demonstrate one (1) or more of the indicated competencies, the District shall provide, free of charge, an opportunity for additional instruction for the graduate until s/he attains competency to the degree specified in the District's administrative guidelines.
The Superintendent shall prepare administrative guidelines for the Guarantee including performance standards, its approval, and for any follow-on instruction that may be requested by employers.
