Preschool, elementary and middle school students shall be enrolled for instruction for the full normal school day of their respective programs.

 

High school students shall be enrolled for the normal school day which may include not more than one supervised study period.

 

The Superintendent or his/her designee is authorized to reduce an individual student’s course load:

1. To meet provisions of an Individual Education Plan (IEP),
2. To provide for a student’s best interests where experience shows that the full normal day schedule interferes with the student’s opportunity for successful learning, and
3. To permit a Lincoln Public Schools student to complete graduation requirements after he/she has completed three years at the high school level.

Students enrolled in non-public schools or in home schools may enroll in Lincoln Public Schools less than full-time for specific classes with the written approval of the Associate Superintendent for Teaching and Learning or designee.
