Schedule Change Policy
Per the LENS (KHS Student Handbook):
Students are encouraged to invest quality time in planning their schedules for the coming school year. Such planning should consist of a consultation with parents, school personnel, fellow students, college personnel, and anyone who might provide insight in helping students make wise decisions in planning their academic programs. The administration and counseling staff of Kokomo High School allow ample time for the student and parents to make a firm decision regarding the student’s program plan for the following year.
Each student is given the time from the initial scheduling meeting until May 1 to make revisions to the schedule as desired. After May 1, changes in a student’s schedule will be made for either semester only for the following reasons:
• Errors made by the school in developing the schedule
• The school’s need to balance class sizes
• Medical reasons with documentation
• Change in program placement for students with learning disabilities, such as adjustments in or assignments to special services or resource classes
• Requests to take specific courses to qualify for the Academic Honors Diploma or Core-40 Diploma
• Failure of a course required for graduation
• Failure of a prerequisite; i.e., anything that would prevent a student from going on to a requisite course as published in the Program of Studies
• Failure of a course required for entrance into post-secondary education
• Adding a course required for college (with documentation from the college)
• Adding a seventh course to replace a study hall
• A student has failed with a teacher previously in a course, and he/she is assigned the same teacher for the same course
• Requesting to attend the full year rather than being a mid-year graduate
• Adding a class to continue the sequence of a year-long course
• Adding a required course in lieu of an elective class
The rationale for adhering to only the above-stated reasons for a schedule change is based upon: (a) maintaining the academic rigor of the student’s schedule; (b) the expectation that the parent and student carefully chose the best curricular preparation; (c) the imbalance that occurs in the elective departments’ enrollments; and (d) the fact that staffing decisions are based upon student course selections, and course changes can affect this balance.
Occasionally, individual situations arise that can be reviewed by school personnel to determine whether or not a schedule change is needed or can be granted. These situations will be considered with feedback from the student, teacher, parents, and counselor. The respective Academy Vice Principal will base the decision on whether to allow a change or withdrawal on this information.
