3310 -RELEASE OF STUDENTS TO ATTEND COMMUNITY COLLEGES
The Board of Education encourages students to complete high school before seeking admission to a university, college or community college. However, a high school student 16 years of age or older may be permitted to attend appropriate courses at a community college if the Superintendent and principal determine that the student meets legal requirements and has special needs that could best be served by admission to the community college. Such students must be taking at least three high school courses in a traditional schedule or two high school courses in a block schedule and be making appropriate progress toward graduation.
