Each student must report directly to his/her co-op teacher daily to sign out before leaving to report to the worksite. A co-op student is to go directly to his/her work site upon departure from the school campus and remain at the work site until they have worked the amount of time that would have been spend in the classroom. If the student’s total work time is after school hours it is not considered a cooperative learning experience.

If a student is not reporting to the job site, the student must remain on school campus. Co-op teacher must be notified of this at the beginning of the class session. Student will be the responsibility of the co-op teacher unless other arrangements are made through the co-op teacher.

If a student loses his/her job, he/she is given two weeks from the time of losing his/her job to secure another one. The co-op teacher is to be notified within one school day if the student loses his/her job. If the student does not secure a job within the two week timeframe, then the student will be enrolled in regular education classes. The current co-op grades will be used for the new classes. In addition, a student must make arrangements to complete any missed work the regular teacher deems necessary to understand the content of the new class.

If for any reason a student is unable to fulfill the job in anyway, unable to follow the co-op guidelines, or has acted in a manner that is deemed by the employer, cooperative teacher, or principal as inappropriate, he/she will be removed without any notice and returned to regular education classes.
