Section 7000 – Instructional Program 7610 Make-up Opportunities (Cf. 8350) 7610 Student absence, including suspension, does not exempt the student from work missed. Upon the direction of the building Principal, teachers shall assist students in making up missed work and credit will be granted for missed work made up. Approved: 7630 Graduation Requirements 7630 The Board may adopt graduation requirements beyond the minimums set forth by the State Board of Education. Students shall be encouraged to participate in voluntary community service projects prior to graduation from high school. Approved: LEGAL REF: MCL 380.1282; Immediato by Immediato v. Rye Neck School Dist., 873 F.Supp. 846 (S.D.N.Y. 1995), aff’d 73 F.3d 454 (2d Cir. 1996), cert. Denied, 117 S.Ct. 60 (1996) 24 24 This case affirmed the right of a school District to include “mandatory community service” in the curriculum as a condition of graduation. The 2 nd Circuit’s decision took into account the fact that school Districts should expect some parents to challenge school programs that, they feel, may intrude on their 14 th Amendment rights. Alternatively, school Districts can avoid such challenges by simply providing an excusal provision for parents that offer “value-based” objections to programs such as mandatory community service.

Section 7000 – Instructional Program 7640 Transfer of Credit 7640 Schools of the District shall accept as transfer credit coursework successfully completed at a school accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, the Michigan Association of Non-Public Schools, the Independent Schools Association of the Central States, or recognized state or regional accrediting agency of comparable standards, or coursework successfully completed at an accredited post-secondary institution. In core academic disciplines, particularly disciplines like mathematics which are sequential in nature, the school administration may make use of transcripts, grades, previous teacher recommendations, textbook used, course descriptions, standardized tests, and/or a placement or proficiency test to recommend or determine course placement for a transferring student. No credit will be granted for work done at another institution that the student substantially repeats by taking an equivalent class within the District. Transfer from Home Schooling or Other Institutions Decisions regarding acceptance of credit or grade level placement of students transferring from a home school or a school not meeting the standards of the major regional accrediting agencies listed above shall be made by school building officials based on appropriate testing and/or review of home school work and curricula. Additionally, school building officials shall consult with the parents or guardians, as well as interview the student, prior to making a decision. In core academic disciplines, transfer of credit from a home school or institution, which is not accredited or accredited by an agency not meeting the above standards, may be contingent on the student demonstrating proficiency in the material through successful completion of a comprehensive exam and/or other academic achievement. Successful completion of a higher-level course in a sequential discipline may also be used to establish proficiency. Transfer of credit in a non-core area may be accorded when the course is in line with the program of study in the District and is consistent with the content and expectations of similar District courses. The student’s subsequent grade placement and the decision to deny credits may be appealed to the Assistant Superintendent for School Performance by the student or his/her parent or guardian. The final appeal is made in writing to the Superintendent. The Superintendent’s decision in such appeals shall be final. The Superintendent shall establish rules and guidelines for the application of this policy in conjunction with building administrators and academic departments. Approved: SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF SAGINAW
