Shared Time Students
Students enrolled in private school may attend public schools on a shared‑time basis, provided that (1) courses to be taken in the public school are not offered in the home institution; and (2) any prerequisites for such courses have been satisfied.
The Board has the authority to govern and regulate the attendance of shared‑time students in the public school.
Dual Enrolled Students
The parent, guardian, or custodian of a student receiving competent private instruction by or under the supervision of a licensed practitioner or by a non-licensed individual may also enroll the student in the District. The student shall be considered under dual enrollment. The parent, guardian, or custodian requesting dual enrollment for the student should notify the Board Secretary by October 1 each year on forms provided by the Iowa Department of Education. On the form, the parent, guardian, or custodian shall indicate the extracurricular and academic activities in which the student is interested in participating. The forms are available at the central administration office.
A dual enrollment student is eligible to participate in the District’s extracurricular and academic activities in the same manner as other students enrolled in the District. The policies and administrative rules of the District shall apply to the dual enrollment students in the same manner as the other students enrolled in the District. These policies and administrative rules shall include, but not be limited to, athletic eligibility requirements, the good conduct rule, academic eligibility requirements, and payment of the fees required for participation.
The District will notify the dual enrollment student of the extracurricular and academic acctivities in which the student wishes to participate.
A child under dual enrollment must receive at least one-quarter of the child’s instruction by way of competent private instruction and no more than three-quarters by way of the District’s academic programs.
The Board has the authority to govern and regulate the attendance of shared-time students in the public school.
