Student requests class-period time to meet internship 540-hour requirement
Summary
A student asked the board to assign one or two class periods next year so she can complete a required 540-hour internship, citing a mentor (Kevin Terrace) who has agreed to supervise; board members discussed schedule impacts and flexibility for new students.
A student presented a request for scheduling accommodations to complete a required 540-hour internship. She asked for one or two class periods next year so she can complete up to 270 hours during the school year (and additional hours during summer/weekends) and said her mentor, Kevin Terrace, has agreed to sign off on internship hours.
Board members and staff asked detailed questions about how the schedule would be adjusted if new students enroll midyear and whether the internship hours would count toward course requirements. The student said Fridays with her mentor would count and that she preferred two periods but could accept one if necessary.
