The district recognizes the educational and cultural value of international exchange programs and foreign exchange students and authorizes the admission of a limited number of non-immigrant foreign exchange students to the regular educational programs offered in the district’s schools. To protect the interests of the district, its schools and students, only foreign exchange students from approved exchange programs will be admitted.

Approved exchange programs are those designated by the United States Information Agency. Foreign exchange students admitted as part of an approved program are considered wards of the families with whom they reside.

This policy and the accompanying regulation apply to non-immigrant foreign students who temporarily reside within the district’s boundaries without their parents/legal guardians for the purpose of attending school. These students are those who qualify for a J-1 visa under the regulations of the United States Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization. This policy and accompanying regulation do not apply to resident aliens, political exiles, or students from other countries residing within the district’s boundaries with their parents/legal guardians. Students in the United States on a visitor visa are not entitled to enroll in the schools of the district.

Foreign students on a J-1 visa are not required by law to pay tuition.
