| Status and Reentry |

All students at Phoenix High School have had school difficulty and most are placed due to the expulsion process or because they have had problems obeying the law. Students who are or have been expelled or waived their hearing rights and are assigned to attend Phoenix, have had certain conditions placed upon them by the school board of trustees. They must pass a re-entry hearing at the end of their expulsion time. If they do not meet these required conditions, they must stay at Phoenix High School until these obligations are fulfilled. Students who complete credits and are eligible for graduation, must complete their board imposed sanctions in order to receive a high school diploma. Students who are not expelled and who have not committed a felony may be eligible to return to a comprehensive high school (the school where their parent/guardian resides unless an open enrollment has been granted). Students meeting eligibility but who are short credits or off target for graduation may return only to the continuation school or may elect to stay voluntarily at Phoenix. Students who stay voluntarily may return to a district high school at the start of a new semester or when the continuation school completes a session. Voluntary students may attend public activities at another high school and ROP on another campus only with written permission from the principal. |
