EMPLOYMENT OF STUDENTS

With the approval of the high school principal, a senior student may be gainfully employed during and up to one-half of the school day provided:

1. A written request for the employment is made by the student's parents or guardian;

2. The student has a bona fide job offer and the work permit if one is required;

3. The student's work schedule covers a continuous block of time whether in the morning or afternoon so the student will not be required to come to and from school more than once a day;

4. The work schedule will not interfere with the student meeting graduation requirements and will not require the school to make any adjustments in its regular daily class schedule. The student shall not ask or expect the teacher to spend extra instructional time to accommodate the student's desire or need to have part-time employment.
