5122.3 Assignment of Former Home-Schooled Students to Classes

Placement of resident home-schooled students who seek to be readmitted to the District’s schools  will be determined by the Principal who shall consult with members of the professional staff to the  extent appropriate. The Principal may direct that a test or tests be administered to help determine  grade level. In addition, the Principal is authorized to collect from parents/guardians actual samples  of coursework as he/she deems necessary in order to make the determination that the requisite  academic standards have been met. The decision of the Principal may be appealed to the  Superintendent. In the event that the parent/guardian is still dissatisfied, the assignment may be  appealed in writing to the Board of Education. 

A home-schooled student seeking admission to a District school must meet all residency, age,  health examination, immunization and other eligibility prerequisites as mandated by State law and regulations.
