CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

INSTRUCTION Alternative/Specialized Programs WEEKEND/SATURDAY CLASSES

PURPOSE:	 To provide learning opportunities for students to make up class work and for students with low academic performance to receive assistance in a supervised study class.

The Board directs the Superintendent to adopt an administrative regulation for voluntary Saturday classes which provide students in grades 7-12 with the opportunity to make up work for which the student received a grade of incomplete.

Such administrative regulation will ensure that students who are absent from classes for any reason will be afforded the opportunity to make up class work missed, whether the absence was classified as excused, or unexcused, and to provide pupils with low academic performance the opportunity to complete classwork in a supervised classroom environment.

The Board desires that students be provided an opportunity of attending classes on Saturday in lieu of suspension for infractions of Education Code section 48900 or as an alternative to other disciplinary action when appropriate.

The Board intends that students who are truant from school will be required to attend Saturday Makeup Classes.

The Board authorizes the Superintendent or designee to establish Saturday School Programs at any school within the District pursuant to statute to provide a classroom related program for a minimum of four hours and to provide for administrative and teacher staffing sufficient to operate the program.
