  3. In situations when a student has not earned an 85, but has performed exceptionally well in the class, teacher recommendation for course enrollment will be considered. An appeals process will be available to students. The process will involve a review and discussion of available information, with a decision made as to the student enrollment in the course. The appeals committee shall consist of: the High School Principal, Guidance Counselor and the Teacher of the AP course for which the student is requesting enrollment.
  4. In situations where there is low enrollment for a course and we are unable to offer the course traditionally, students will have the option to register for the AP Course through an online course program. Students should contact their guidance counselor if they are interested in taking the course online to complete the necessary paperwork.
