In the interest of furthering better understanding and improving human relations among district students and youth from all parts of the world, the Board encourages the high school(s) to participate in student exchange programs.
Exchange students must meet the regulations and expectations of local students, including the immunization requirements.
A high school diploma may be awarded at regular commencement exercises to all exchange students who successfully meet the necessary academic requirements during the year in which they attend.
Exchange students will be encouraged to participate in all student activities and will be eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics, provided academic requirements and Oregon School Activities Association criteria are met.
The Board authorizes the principal to limit the number of exchange students in a given year.
Privately sponsored exchange students on an F-1 Visa may only attend secondary schools within the district and are required to pay tuition at the established district rate. The period of attendance may not exceed 12 months.
Exchange students attending district schools on a J-1 Visa as part of a group-sponsored program are not required to pay tuition.
