HB 2465 Nonpublic school students in Governor's Schools.
Introduced by: James K. (Jay) O'Brien, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Part-time admission and enrollment of nonpublic school students in Governor's Schools. Authorizes local school boards to develop policies, consistent with their constitutional and statutory responsibilities for providing public education, for the part-time admission and enrollment in Governor's Schools of students who are either enrolled in a nonpublic school or receiving home instruction. The policies must address attendance zones, evidence of residence, equitable student selection, and compliance by such students with all relevant public school policies during attendance time. In addition, the policies shall require that the parent apply for the desired class or classes to the division superintendent of the Governor's School to be attended, and shall require the parent to obtain permission for such part-time enrollment from the chief administrator of the relevant nonpublic school in which the student is enrolled on a full-time basis.
Approval for part-time admission and enrollment shall only be granted if the student meets admissions criteria and the school has space in the desired class or classes after accommodating the qualified pupils who are regularly enrolled in the school or in the participating school divisions. These students would be included in average daily membership in the relevant school division on a pro rata basis.
The measure is not to be construed as requiring school divisions to establish or participate in the operation of a Governor's School.
Under current law, nonpublic school students who are enrolled in public school on a less than full-time basis in any mathematics, science, English, history, social science, vocational education, fine arts, foreign language, health education, or physical education course are counted in the average daily membership in the relevant school division on a pro rata basis as provided in the appropriation act. No such student will be counted as more than one-half of a student. The 2000 Appropriation Act supports this requirement (Item 143 A 1 d).
