HB 253 Part-time admission and enrollment of home-school students.

Introduced by: Frank W. Wagner | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Part-time admission and enrollment of home-school students. Requires school boards to adopt policies, consistent with their constitutional and statutory responsibilities for providing public education, for the part-time admission and enrollment of home-school students. The policies must require that the home-school student reside in the attendance district for the school he desires to attend, that the parent or guardian of the home-school student apply for the desired class or classes to the principal of the school and the division superintendent and, simultaneously with such application, that the parent or guardian submit evidence of residence and compliance with § 22.1-254.1. Approval for part-time admission and enrollment can only be granted if the school has space in the desired class or classes, after accommodating the pupils who are regularly enrolled in the school and the school division. The policies must establish procedures for equitable student selection, protection from potential legal liability, and compliance by such students with all relevant public school policies while attending.

School divisions will include students so enrolled in average daily membership.
