Section 8000 – Students 8045 Homeless Children 8045 The Board is committed to identifying homeless children and youth. 28 The Superintendent shall develop guidelines and procedures for identifying homeless children within the District and will produce written guidelines for distribution to each school that explains the rights of homeless students and the responsibilities of the schools to meet their needs and eliminate barriers to school attendance. This information shall also be disseminated in writing and by other means designed to raise awareness of these rights and responsibilities to staff, homeless families and students, the public, and homeless service providers. Such children shall be provided with educational services to meet their needs as determined and directed by the Superintendent. Regulations/Guidelines will be developed that implement the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act. The child may attend the school, which is in the best educational, social, and emotional interest of the child. The Superintendent shall waive fees and charges that may act as barriers and prevent homeless children from enrolling in school and/or acquiring an appropriate education. 29 Approved: LEGAL REF: 42 USCA §11433 (McKinney Homeless Assistance Act); 20 USCA § 6311 (No Child Left Behind Act) 28 Under the McKinney Act, the terms homeless children and youths mean “individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence … and includes: (i) children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals; or are awaiting foster care placement; (ii) children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings…; (iii) children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and (iv) migratory children … who qualify as homeless for the purposes of this part because the children are living in circumstances described [above].” 29 To be eligible for federal funds for programs assisting the education of homeless children, a district must provide written notice to the parents/guardians of each child enrolled in a separate school for homeless children of the choice of schools that homeless children are eligible to attend, that no homeless child is required to attend a separate school, and that homeless children must be provided transportation services, educational services and meals through school meal programs comparable to those offered to other children in the school attended. The notice must also include contact information for the local liaison for homeless children and the state coordinator for education of homeless children. If the district sends a homeless child to a school other than the school of origin or the school requested by the parent/guardian, the district must provide the parents/guardians a written explanation for, including notice of the right to appeal, the decision. This information must also be provided whenever a dispute arises over school selection. 42 U.S.C. § 11432 (e) (3) , (E); 11432 (g) (2) (B), (E) SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF SAGINAW
Section 8000 – Students 8055 Changing Student Letter Grades 8055 A student, age 18 years or older, parent(s)/guardian(s) or another person acting as a representative for the student, may request to have a letter grade changed only for grades on final exams or grades at the end of a marking period or semester. The Superintendent will promulgate rules for the procedures to be followed when a request for a change in a letter grade is made. Approved: LEGAL REF: MCL 380.11a 8080 Re-admissions 8080 Students, whose enrollment has been terminated, either voluntarily or otherwise, may be re-admitted by following the procedures established by the Board. Approved: LEGAL REF: OAG, 1985-1986, No 6271, p 13 (February 7, 1985) 8090 Release of a Student during the School Day 8090 Building Principals shall not release a student during the school day, except in emergencies, and then only to a student's lawful custodian as defined by Michigan law. The identification of the student's lawful custodian shall be verified to the satisfaction of the Principal. The name, address and telephone number of the lawful custodian shall be entered on the permanent record of the student in accordance with Board policy. In the event a student’s lawful custodian as defined by Michigan law, wishes to give permission to have the student released to a person other than the lawful custodian, said permission must be filed, in writing, signed and dated by the lawful custodian, citing the specific person(s) by name and indicating the nature, reason for and duration of the permission given for the release. Such written permission(s) will be placed in the permanent record of the student until or unless revoked through written notice from the lawful custodian. Approved: LEGAL REF: MCL 380.1561; R 340.71-75; OAG, 1989-1990, No 6596, p 195 (August 9, 1989) SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF SAGINAW
