Public Hearing

The Board of Trustees of the Dayton Independent School District will hold a Public Hearing concerning the proposed application for an Optional Flexible School Day Program (OFSDP) on Tuesday evening, May 20, 2008, during the regularly scheduled board meeting, in the Board Room, at the Will O. Moore, Jr. Administration Building, 100 Cherry Road, Dayton, TX 77535, which begins at 7:00 PM.

Dayton ISD seeks to file, with the Texas Education Agency, the Optional Flexible School Day Program (OFSDP) Application to allow eligible Dayton High School and Dayton Alternative Education Center students to participate in the OFSDP in order 1) to increase completion rates of at-risk high school students and 2) to decrease the number of high school drop outs.

A student is eligible to participate in an optional flexible school day program (OFSDP) authorized under Texas Education Code (TEC), Section 29.0822, if:

1. the student is enrolled in grades 9-12 at the beginning of the school year or semester; and

2. the student meets one of the following conditions:

- the student is at risk of dropping out of school, as defined by TEC, Section 29.082, or
- the student is attending a school implementing an approved innovative campus plan, or
- the student is attending a school with an approved early college high school program designation; and

3. the student, if less than 18 years of age and not emancipated by marriage or court order, and the student’s parent, or person standing in parental relation to the student, agree in writing to the student’s participation.
