All applications for continued enrollment shall be made through the Office of Student Services.  A recommendation will be made to the Lincoln Board of Education by the Director of Student Services using the following criteria:

1. The student will have been in attendance in the Lincoln Public Schools for at least one or more full years immediately prior to the application,
2. The adult individual(s) with whom the student will reside, if other than the parent or legal guardian, shall have a power of attorney from the parent/guardian, and responsibility for the student if the application is approved,
3. Students whose parents/guardians move into a district that would normally contract for these services will not be eligible for continued enrollment without a contract between Lincoln Public Schools and the school district in which student has become a resident for the payment of tuition if such is a Nebraska school district or payment of tuition in advance at a rate determined by the Lincoln Board of Education if the student has become a resident of another state.
4. The student’s academic work and deportment in the semester in which the application is made shall be satisfactory, and
5. Evidence is given to show that changing schools would severely hamper the student’s educational program or opportunity for graduation.

If the request for continued enrollment is denied, that decision may be appealed by the student, parent or legal guardian by requesting a written request for review by the Associate Superintendent for Educational Services within five days of the receipt of the ruling.
