Policy Title: Summer School Licensed Employees Code No. 410.2
It is within the discretion of the Board to offer an education program during the summer recess.

Should the Board determine a summer education program is necessary, licensed employees will be given the opportunity to volunteer for the positions available. If the Board determines a course must be offered and no licensed employee volunteers for the position, the Board will make the necessary arrangements to fill the position. The Board will consider applications from volunteers of current licensed employees in conjunction with other applications.
It is the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation to the Board regarding the need for and the delivery of the summer education program.
