The school system may sponsor a summer program providing opportunities for enrichment and remedial instruction for students when requested, needed, and feasible in grades kindergarten through eight. Nominal tuition fees shall be charged subject to Board approval for such programs not funded by the federal government or other outside agencies.
Tuition summer sessions may be operated in high schools. The administration shall have the right to cancel announced summer courses for which there is insufficient enrollment. A refund of fees will be made for cancelled classes. It shall also have the right to dismiss a student for disciplinary reasons with no refund of fees.
None of the subjects required for graduation shall be taken for the first time
during summer school session unless the student has maintained a cumulative grade
point average of at least 3.0 or has received permission from the Director of
Middle & Secondary Education. Courses, provided for the purpose of permitting
secondary school students to expand their programs shall meet the credit/instructional
hour requirements for summer school courses as established by the State Department
of Education and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Any transfer
credits earned in summer school must meet these same requirements.
Summer school teachers shall be selected from those making application who teach in the system. Should interested and qualified teachers not be available from within the system, those outside the system may be employed.
