RE: Open Enrollment Policy Changes for the 2024-2025 School Year
Please be advised that a new policy regarding open enrollment has been adopted for the 2024-2025 school year. In summary, this new policy considers the attendance history of students applying for open enrollment in the St. Clairsville-Richland City School District. Students who are applying for open enrollment or who are already enrolled will not be granted open enrollment status if that student has missed 100 hours or more of school throughout the preceding year. This does not include hours missed that are covered under a documented medical excuse. In addition, students who are truant from school without a legitimate excuse will be denied open enrollment in accordance with the new policy guidelines. Students applying for open enrollment to the district for the first time must submit attendance documentation upon application.
Please see the text of the Board Policy JECBB-R: Admission of Interdistrict Transfer Students provided below:
- The District will deny open enrollment to any student who was absent without legitimate excuse in the prior school year for:
- 30 or more consecutive hours, or
- 42 or more hours in one month, or
- 72 or more hours in the entire school year.
- The District will deny open enrollment to any student who was absent for 100 or more hours in the prior school year. Said absences shall not include absences due to legitimate medical excuses.
