The decision shall be made after a conference involving the student, the student's parents or guardians, teachers, staff members, and appropriate building administrators. The decision may be appealed to the Superintendent, who shall review the decision to determine whether there has been an abuse of discretion on the part of the administrator involved. This policy will be applied when students who excel in academic areas are considered for movement from one academic level to a more advanced level, e.g. from a junior high school class to a senior high school class. All student recruitment contacts for academic activities by employees must have the prior approval of the building administrator of the employee. The building administrator must promptly notify the Superintendent, or the Superintendent's designee, in writing of all approved recruitment contacts and activity.
Violators are subject to discipline.
The Superintendent is delegated authority to establish administrative rules to implement this policy, including the identification of appropriate academic areas to be included. The administrative rules shall also include criteria to be used in the identification of appropriate students to be accelerated and any district expectations of students and parents which would be necessary for successful acceleration, e.g. transportation and other extra costs.
