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.

Unless exempted by law, no student under the age of eighteen (18) may be employed without a permit issued by the State.

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.
