IUPUI’S SPAN PROGRAM –FROM A PARENT’S PERSPECTIVE

Create a working partnership with your school or just register as
home- schooled?

Many school districts work well with SPAN on a full or part-time
basis. The ways in which they work with SPAN are as varied and
different as the school districts themselves.  Within each school
district you will find a variety of rules and a myriad of
interpretations of the rules, as they relate to SPAN participation.
Finding the right person and building a relationship with them is
crucial to a successful SPAN/ public school partnership. This can
result in a powerful combination, allowing the student the best
academic success and personal development.

However, if the combination fails there are other options: such as
filing with the state to pursue home schooling. The effort and
energy you put into continuing to work through your local school
district may depend upon your student and his personal needs; for
example, his desire to participate in the high school’s athletic or
music departments, the importance he places on receiving a
diploma from that high school, the choice to stay with friends, etc.
