Code No. 604.3
INTERNATIONAL STUDY
The board recognizes some students may wish to take courses outside the country. The board must approve international exchange student study programs prior to acceptance of the program by the student. The board's approval is not an assumption of liability, but rather an approval of the credits from the program toward the graduation requirements.
Students must obtain board approval prior to participating in the international exchange student program, unless it is a continuing program which has received a favorable evaluation by the administration and the program will be carried out in the future as it has been in the past.
The students and employees or others, traveling with the students, shall assume all costs and have personal insurance and liability protection. The school district assumes no cost or liability for the participants.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to keep the board informed of ongoing programs and to bring new programs to the board's attention.
