Policy 2720 – Employment of Students

The Superintendent of Schools will make provision for the issuance of work permits to students
between the ages of fourteen (14) and sixteen (16). In addition, principals/designees and District
employees holding a student service certificate and, who is authorized by the Superintendent,
may issue work certificates to students who are attending their schools. Employees with
authority to issue certificates may not issue a certificate to their own child.

Principals issuing work certificates will provide self-certification that the principal understands
the legal requirements for issuing work certificates. The principal issuing a work certificate will
submit a copy of each certificate and the certificate application to the Superintendent. The
Superintendent may revoke a certificate issued by a principal if the Superintendent becomes
aware of any grounds upon which the student may be ineligible for a work certificate.
