AA447 – Out-of-District Student Enrollment

  • Effective: 8/7/2007
  • Revised: 9/8/2009

Full Subject: OUT-OF-DISTRICT STUDENT ENROLLMENT AS PART-TIME STUDENTS AND PARTICIPATION OF OUT-OF-DISTRICT STUDENTS IN JORDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT ACTIVITIES

  1. Board Policy
    The Board recognizes that from time-to-time out-of-district students may request to enroll as part-time students in Jordan District schools to attend classes and/or participate in Jordan School District sponsored extra and co-curricular activities.  Because the Board’s primary responsibility is to provide educational services and opportunities for Jordan School District students, the Board limits opportunities for out-of-district students to enroll as part-time students and participate in Jordan District activities. The District Administration is therefore authorized to enroll out-of-district students as part-time students and allow out-of-district student participation in Jordan School District activities according to the provisions of the following administrative policy.
