A student may be denied admission based on any of the following conditions:
1. Physical or mental disability which prevents the student from reasonably benefiting from the available programs.
2. Physical or mental disability or disease which causes the student’s attendance to be detrimental to the welfare of students.
3. Graduation from twelfth grade of any school or receipt of any equivalent document as evidence of completion of the equivalent of a secondary curriculum.
4. Expulsion from any school district within the previous twelve months.
5. Failure to meet the age requirement of age six by October 1 for beginning kindergarten or first grade.
6. Failure to comply with the Colorado School Entry Immunization Law.
7. Failure to provide proof of residency.
A principal deeming it necessary to recommend denial of admission to a student requesting enrollment must immediately make such a recommendation to the Superintendent or designee. A copy of the statement will be given the parent.
The Superintendent or designee will hold a conference with the parent and student at the earliest possible time.
Within one week of the conclusion of the conference, the Superintendent or designee will provide a written statement of findings and a ruling to the parents. If the denial of admission is upheld, the parents will be informed of their right to request a review of the decision before the Board.
No student will be denied admission for any period beyond the current academic year. Parents will be advised that they must reapply for admission for the ensuing academic year.
Admission may be reconsidered during the same academic year upon submission of evidence that corrective actions to relieve the cause of denial of admission have been taken. The final decision will be made by the Superintendent or designee.
