Part-Time Attendance

In accordance with Policy 3110, the District will review requests for part-time enrollment of resident students for purposes of academic courses on a case-by-case basis, with a building principal making a preliminary decision pursuant to the criteria set forth in this Policy. Denial of part-time enrollment may be appealed pursuant to Policy 1700. Admission of non-resident students on a part-time basis shall be governed in accordance with Policy 3141.

Criteria for accepting students for part-time enrollment are the following:

  1. Acceptance of a student shall not create an excess student enrollment in the requested class;
  2. Acceptance of a student shall not create need for an additional staff member;
  3. Acceptance of a student shall not cause the creation of a new section of the requested class;
  4. Regular full-time students shall have first priority on any available space.

When a number of part-time students have requested admission into the same class, they will be accepted on a first-come basis as long as feasible within the criteria. In the event the class enrollment position of a part-time student is needed for a regular full-time student during the course of the year, the full-time student will have priority for the position beginning with the next semester. The District may secure ANB for part time enrollees in accordance with Policy 3121.

Participation in District Extracurricular Activities by Unenrolled Children This policy does not restrict or limit the ability of unenrolled children to seek to participate in extracurricular activities in accordance with Policy 3510. The District may secure ANB for unenrolled children participating in identified extracurricular activities in accordance with Policy 3121.
