5118.2 Admission of Foreign Exchange Students

The Board of Education recognizes the cultural enrichment derived from welcoming foreign exchange students into the educational program and encourages District participation in a foreign student program. Foreign exchange students covered by this policy are generally in the District for a one-year academic program.

The District retains the sole discretion to deny admission to any student not meeting all the requirements set forth in this policy and regulation. It may also terminate any approval of a foreign exchange student program when the Board believes that it would be in the best interest of the District.

REQUIREMENTS

  1. The District recognizes only those organizations designated as “Exchange-Visitor Programs” by the United States Information Agency, pursuant to federal regulations, as sponsoring organizations for the exchange of students. Any such organization must supply proof of designation prior to recognition.
     
  2. No foreign exchange students subject to this policy and regulation shall be brought into the District by a foreign student program unless the Superintendent of Schools or a designee has accepted him or her in writing as a student. All foreign exchange students shall attend Brentwood Public Schools free of charge.
     
  3. Approved foreign exchange students shall be allowed to attend the Brentwood Public Schools and where applicable, shall be provided bus transportation to and from the District school free of charge. When a foreign student is accepted for admission pursuant to this policy and regulation, the letter of acceptance shall include a statement that tuition shall be waived for the student, except when payment of tuition is required pursuant to federal immigration law.
