Carlisle County High School SBDM Council Student Assignment Policy Student assignment shall be defined as appropriate placement of individual students based on specific needs. In April each student will request eight courses and two alternates. During the summer the principal and guidance counselor will assign each student to classes based on the student requests and the following criteria: Academic performance of the student, learning style of the student, student behavior, instructional needs of the student, course prerequisites, class size, and school schedule. By the August SBDM meeting the principal will present the assignment plan for consideration, amendment, and approval. Any parent or student who would like to make a change in assignment shall confer with the principal or guidance counselor who shall have the authority to make the switch. The school council shall not have the authority to make a switch in student assignment once it gives its initial approval to assignments. Adopted: February 20, 2003
