Adult High Schools

(1) Adult high schools may be established and maintained by local boards of education. (2) Before the Full-Time Enrollment Average Daily Membership (FTEADM) of any adult high school shall be counted in distribution of state funds, such schools shall meet the standards of an approved school and shall provide without fee all services, such as free textbooks, to which any student of grades nine through twelve (9-12) is entitled under rules and regulations of the State Board of Education, state and federal statutes, and policies of local boards of education, with the exceptions listed below: (a) The computation of the FTEADM of adult high schools shall be on the basis of a four (4) hour day and twenty (20) day school month. The FTEADM for any month shall be determined by dividing the total hours for which persons were enrolled during the month by eighty (80). (b) While in attendance at an adult high school, students may earn all or a portion of the required credits necessary for graduation. Physical education, however, shall not be a requirement for graduation. Students are exempted from state-mandated tests. (c) Adult high schools may operate twelve (12) months per year and provide flexible scheduling necessary for both day and night programs. All terms in a year round operation are considered regular terms. (d) Adult high school students must be at least seventeen (17) years of age. (e) Adult high school students may register for and earn as few as half (1/2) unit of credit per term.
