606.10 Early Release for Seniors

Code No. 606.10

EARLY RELEASE FOR SENIORS

The school academic year for students shall be for a minimum of one-hundred and seventy-five days in the school calendar. Seniors may be excused up to five days of instruction after they have met the district's requirements for graduation.

The superintendent has the authority to deny early release, or reduce the number of days for which the student may be excused, if a senior has failed to meet the requirements for graduation, as a form of discipline for an individual or for the class as a whole, or if the academic year has been disrupted by school closings for severe weather or other emergencies.
