5895 - STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The Board of Education believes that attendance at school should occupy a student's full attention and should take precedence over nonschool-related employment.

If a student must work while attending school, s/he should receive counseling and assistance in seeking appropriate job opportunities and in correlating work schedules with school studies and activities.

Guidelines will ensure:

1. that student employment complies with Ohio laws;
2. all students employed in out-of-school jobs are closely monitored by staff regarding school attendance and achievement in order to determine the effects on school performance of the student assuming out-of-school work commitments.
