Board advances policy enabling limited participation by non-district students, asks administration to draft clear AGs
Summary
The board forwarded policy 92-70 (equivalent instruction) that would allow students from nonaccredited/nonpublic programs limited participation in district offerings through dual enrollment or partial-day enrollment; trustees debated fairness, grandfathering, sports vs. arts participation and asked administration to draft detailed administrative guidelines.
The board considered policy 92-70 concerning equivalent instruction for compulsory attendance, including a proposal that would allow students enrolled in nonaccredited or nonpublic programs to participate in district classes or activities under defined conditions. Trustees debated how to balance inviting participation (to attract future enrolled students) with fairness to enrolled RCS students, especially where roster limits and cuts exist for middle- and high-school activities.
Discussion covered options including requiring dual enrollment (half-day attendance) for nonpublic students seeking participation, allowing limited participation in noncompetitive offerings (intramurals, summer camps), and grandfathering current participants. Trustees asked administration to develop administrative guidelines that address dual-enrollment mechanics, funding implications, how to handle cuts and playing time, and communication with families; the board advanced the policy and requested AGs and further clarification before final implementation.
