5. A student must have a 2.00 GPA with no F’s on their last REPORT CARD, PROGRESS REPORT, or TRANSCRIPT for new students (exceptions will be made for students completing credit recovery courses with additive grading policies and making adequate progress at the time the progress report is issued). If a student’s Academic and Attendance Standards are below eligibility standards, the application will be returned as marked “Does Not Meet the District’s Requirements and Permit Should Not Be Issued”. Watermarked applications will have either Attendance or Academics sections marked “Insufficient” and a permit will not be issued. A teacher may also request an Entertainment Work Permit be canceled before renewal if a student is not attending regularly or making academic progress.
