2440  SUMMER SESSION

The Board of Education may conduct a summer session.  A summer session must be approved by the Board of Education and the Executive County Superintendent of Schools and may include:

1.	Remedial courses for pupils who wish to retake a course or subject previously taken and for which credits or placement may be awarded upon successful completion;

2.	Advanced courses for pupils who wish to take a course or subject not previously taken in an approved school district program and for which additional credits or advanced placement may be awarded upon successful completion of the course; and 

3.	Enrichment courses for pupils who wish to take a course or subject of a vocational interest and for which no credits are to be awarded.

The Superintendent of Schools will develop a summer session program and submit the proposed program to the Board for approval.  The proposed program shall include the details of the summer session including, but not limited to, a list of the courses or programs offered, the hours of operation, the school(s) where the summer session(s) will be operating, any tuition fees to be charged in accordance with the provisions of N.J.A.C. 6A:32-10.3, and projected cost of operation.

A pupil will be enrolled in a remedial course only on the written recommendation of the Principal of the school the pupil regularly attends.  The recommendation shall state the name of the subject(s) which the pupil may take and the purpose for which each subject is taken.  A pupil previously retained at grade level may be promoted on successful completion of a required remedial course, but no pupil shall be required to attend the summer session.
In accordance with the provisions of N.J.A.C. 6A:32-10.3, tuition may be charged to nonresident pupils enrolled in a summer session course and to resident pupils enrolled in enrichment courses which carry no credit and are determined by the Executive County Superintendent to have no direct relationship to the curriculum.  Tuition may be charged to pupils domiciled within the district for enrollment in remedial or advanced courses in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:11-15.

The Superintendent shall develop regulations for the summer session that include provisions for appropriate planning, proper staffing, pupil assignments, pupil evaluation, pupil records, award of credit, grade placement, and the utilization of facilities.  Such regulations for the operation of the summer session shall be consistent with rules of the State Board of Education and Board policies.  The operation of the summer session shall not conflict in any way with the administration of the regular school sessions of this district.
