Policy reflects Minnesota statute and aligns with other District 270 policies.
The School Board welcomes the enrollment of all resident school-age children in District 270 schools. The School Board recognizes that parents/guardians have the right to select the most appropriate educational programs for their children. The educational program of District 270 includes a comprehensive set of curricular and extracurricular programs that are consistent with the mission of the School District. To effectively and efficiently achieve the mission of the School District, enrollment on a full-time basis is the expectation of the School District.
The School District however, does permit partial enrollment of resident non-public school students grades 7-12 in its curricular programs. The School District will provide for partial enrollment of non-public school students in grades 7-12 consistent with the following conditions:
• Space is available in the specific course for the partially enrolled student
• As of two (2) weeks prior to the start of a term the school principal or designee may admit a partially enrolled student
• Transportation is the responsibility of the parent
• All student expectations and disciplinary procedures of the School District will apply to the student
The School District does not permit partial enrollment of non-public school students grades K-6 in its curricular programs except as required by state and federal laws concerning children with disabilities.
Resident students attending a home school are eligible to participate in extracurricular activities on the same basis as District 270 students.
Resident students in grades 7, 8, and 9 attending a non-public school with no continuation high school, are eligible to participate in non-MSHSL (Minnesota State High School League) extracurricular activities on the same basis as District 270 students.
Resident non-public school students will be permitted to participate in activities and programs sponsored by the Community Education Department. Resident non-public school students will also be permitted to enroll in the remedial portion of the District summer school program, upon referral, on a space available basis.
