Policy 2200 – Admission and Withdrawal
The admission and denial of admission of all students shall be under the direction of the
Superintendent/Designee, subject to the approval of the Board of Education. All persons seeking
admission to the District and its instructional programs must satisfactorily meet all residency,
academic, age, immunization, health, safety and other eligibility prerequisites as established by
Board policies, rules and regulations, and by law. Students entering the District will be required
to present a birth certificate or some other acceptable proof of age along with proof of residency
in the District, or a request for a waiver of the residency requirements unless the student is
exempt from the residency requirements as set forth in District policies, rules and regulations
and/or law.
Upon a request to enroll any student in the District, the Superintendent/Designee will request the
student’s previous school records along with any other relevant records as set forth in Regulation
2200 and state law. Any enrollment of a student prior to receipt of the student’s previous
discipline records will remain conditional until receipt of such records. A student will be allowed
to attend school during conditional enrollment so long as the student does not violate the
District’s code of conduct or pose a threat of harm to students or employees of the District. (See
Regulation 2200, Policy 2290, and Policy and Regulation 2664).
Students who are entering kindergarten or first grade are encouraged to pre-register in the spring
prior to the fall semester in which they are to begin attendance.
The District will, prior to enrollment, require a state criminal history background check of open
records for any person who is eighteen years or older, and (1) who is not counted by the District
for average daily attendance; (2) if instruction takes place on District property during regular
school hours; and (3) if such class contains students who are counted for purposes of state aid.
High School Students Residing in K-8 Districts
The District will admit high school students from approved K-8 Districts in its county or
adjoining counties. The District shall charge the sending K-8 Districts tuition for each such
student. The cost of tuition will be calculated by the District’s Board of Education, but in no case
will tuition exceed the amount spent for teachers’ wages, incidental purposes, debt service,
maintenance and replacements divided by the District’s average daily pupil attendance. Disputes
involving the tuition charged will be resolved by the State Board of Education. The sending
districts are required to provide transportation provided the receiving District has been approved
by the K-8 District of pupil’s residence.
