J1400 - Dual Enrollment for Students Attending Another Public, Private or Home School

Students who qualify as legal residents of District 4J shall be permitted to enter tuition free any District 4J school with dual enrollment in another public, private or home school as long as that public, private, or home school meets the requirements of ORS 339.030, paragraphs 2 or 6. Dual enrollment shall be implemented by the superintendent and her or his staff and shall be subject to the following regulations:

1. A student must reside in School District 4J, Lane County, Oregon, with his or her parents or with a person who has been determined by the district as having met the test of "in loco parentis."
2. A student must meet the statutory requirements of age for admission in the public schools of Oregon and School District 4J.
3. A student is subject to the rules and regulations of the district and local school regarding registration, enrollment, placement, scheduling and participation during his or her association with the district. As with all students in the district, placement in a specific class is dependent upon the availability of space in that class. Unless the student is a new resident to the school district, enrollment will occur at the beginning of a term.
4. A student must select his or her class or classes from the program schedule adopted for the school in the district and restrict his or her choices to courses not available in the private, public or home school in which he or she is primarily enrolled. Modifications of this program schedule to accommodate part-time enrollee requests will be made only when it can be done without detracting from the effectiveness of the district's program or exceeding the established budget. It is not always possible to inform parents of changes in the daily instructional schedule in advance, especially at the elementary level.
5. A student is subject to provisions of Oregon School Law concerning attendance during the time he or she is enrolled and the records of the district will include this information. A student's accumulation of partially attended days will be reported to the Oregon Department of Education in terms of equated full days.
6. A student will receive grades and evaluation comparable to those recorded for all other students, and a grade report will be made to the student and parents.
7. A student will be provided textbooks for the courses in which he or she is enrolled when these textbooks are provided for regularly enrolled students. Textbooks provided without charge or rented through the district may be used only in programs of the district's schools.
8. A student will have the same library privileges as regularly enrolled students but will not be permitted to use library services of the district for a class of another public, private, or home school's program.
9. A student will not be eligible for participation in school activities that are not a part of the classes in which he or she is enrolled.
10. A student will not be eligible for participation in extracurricular activities including interscholastic activities unless that student is currently enrolled in five or more classes and meets the district's academic eligibility requirements, except that home schooled students may participate under conditions established in Oregon Statute, Oregon Administrative Rules, and the district's Administrative Handbook.
11. A student will attend his or her neighborhood school and be responsible for his or her own transportation except during the time of regularly scheduled bus routes. Students may participate in the school choice process according to the priorities and waiting lists determined by policy.
12. A student will be permitted to participate in the school lunch program if in attendance in a district school in a class that meets immediately preceding or following the scheduled lunch period.
