Students

Assignment to Teachers and Classes

Any pupil may be assigned, at the discretion of school officials, to the grade level, class or teacher most appropriate for the academic, social and emotional development of the pupil. Judgments about the appropriateness of pupil assignment are the prerogative of the professional employees of the district.

The assignment of a pupil to a particular grade level, class or teacher will be reviewed by the board of education, upon the request of the pupil or the pupil's parent or guardian, only in those instances where questions of procedural due process are present.

Students with disabilities will be placed in programs suited to their needs in accordance with federal and state laws and guidelines or regulations of the Nebraska Department of Education.
