| Purpose
The Board affirms that, while statute requires attendance
of each student only between the ages of 8 and 17, it is in the best
interests of both students and the community that students complete
the educational program that will equip them with skills and increase
their chances for a successful and fulfilling life beyond the schools.
Authority
The Board directs that whenever a student wishes to withdraw,
effort should be made to determine the underlying reason for such
action and the resources of the district should be used to assist
the student in reaching his or her career goals. No student of compulsory
school age will be permitted to withdraw without the written consent
of a parent or legal guardian, or unless in compliance with school
code regulations.
Delegation of Responsibility
The Superintendent shall develop procedures for withdrawal
from school which:
- make counseling services available to any student who wishes to
withdraw,
- make every effort to advise the student concerning future educational
needs,
- approve the withdrawal of students attending college full time,
- inform the student of the tests for General Educational Development
and the Certificate of Preliminary Education,
- assure the timely return of all
district-owned supplies and equipment in the possession of the student.
