Pupils enrolled in nonpublic or approved home education programs who reside in the Hudson School District shall have access to curricular courses and cocurricular programs offered by the Hudson School District. 

In the event participation in a curricular course or cocurricular program is limited to a specific number of pupils, the Hudson School District will permit pupils who meet the qualification(s) required of the resident pupils attending the Hudson School District or who are otherwise qualified for the course or program, to access the course or program on a first come, first served basis.  This practice shall apply equally to pupils enrolled in the school district, nonpublic and home educated pupils.  The Building Principal shall determine, in his/her sole discretion, whether a pupil has satisfied the School District’s prerequisite(s), if any, and is qualified to participate in the curricular course or cocurricular program. 

If there is a charge to participate in any curricular course or cocurricular program, pupils enrolled in the School District and nonpublic and home educated pupils will be required to pay the charge prior to participating.

No special transportation shall be provided to nonpublic or home educated pupils who are participating in any curricular course or cocurricular program offered by the School District.

All pupils who are participating in curricular courses and cocurricular programs offered by the School District shall comply, at all times, with the instructions of School District personnel and all School District rules and policies.  Prior to participation, all pupils must have any immunizations required by the School District and any applicable laws or regulations pertaining to school registration.

If a Hudson School District resident is attending a nonpublic school and the pupil has access to a curricular or co-curricular program at the nonpublic school that is the same as, or substantially similar to, a curricular or co-curricular program offered by the Hudson School District, the student may be denied access to the Hudson School District curricular or co-curricular program.

For the purposes of this policy, “cocurricular” shall include those activities which are designed to supplement and enrich regular academic programs of study, provide opportunities for social development, and encourage participation in clubs, athletics, performing groups, and service to school and community.

For the purposes of this policy, “home educated pupil” shall not include any pupil who has graduated from a high school level program of home education, or its equivalent, or has attained the age of 21.
