2440 - SUMMER OR INTERIM SESSION SCHOOL

The Board may conduct a summer program or an interim session program occurring outside of the periods of regular instruction and which do not count towards the minimum hours of instruction required by law, for the purpose of academic instruction and/or recreational activities at all levels for resident students of this District and such other students as the Board may admit.

Summer and interim 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 shall annually approve a summer school program. In order to support such a program of summer instruction, the Board will:

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.

Instructional fees may be charged to all students, when necessary.

With regard to transportation, the Board does not accept responsibility for any student with the exception of students with disabilities where both an Extended School Year (ESY) and a transportation need have been formally determined by an IEP team as so documented in the current IEP.

The District Administrator 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 District.
