Continuation Education

The Board of Education shall provide a continuation education program to meet the educational needs of district students who are not attending a high school or other appropriate educational institution and who are not legally exempted from compulsory continuation school attendance. The Board shall establish a plan to coordinate instruction and training in the school with the home, employment and other agencies and shall designate one or more persons as coordinators. (5 CCR 11003) The Superintendent or designee shall develop administrative regulations governing the involuntary transfer of students into the continuation education program. (Education Code 48432.5) The Superintendent or designee may allow the voluntary enrollment of students in the continuation education program as space permits and when it is determined to be in the best interests of the student. Minors otherwise subject to compulsory attendance in continuation education classes may be exempted if they meet any of the conditions specified in Education Code 48410. The Board may maintain continuation classes during the district's regular school hours, during special school hours for these classes established by the Board, or during such hours and for such length of time during the day or evening that adult education classes are maintained.
