Mont. Admin. R. 10.65.303 - PROCEDURES FOR COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
(1) The
county superintendent as an elected local school official must meet certain
teaching and administrative qualifications in school matters. The county
superintendent has general supervision of the schools of his county and is
responsible to perform any duty prescribed by the Board of Public
Education.
(2) The Office of Public
Instruction will provide technical assistance to all county superintendents,
upon their request, so they in turn can perform the mandates of this
policy.
(3) The governing authority
of a private institution may request the attendance officer to contact the
county superintendent for a determination of whether a private institution is
providing a basic instructional program.
(4) The county superintendent upon request by
the attendance officer, shall contact the governing authority of the private
institution and determine annually whether the children within his county who
are attending a private institution are receiving a basic instructional program
as set forth by the Board of Public Education.
(5) If the county superintendent determines
that the private institution is providing a basic instructional program as
prescribed, the county superintendent shall notify the attendance officer that
the private institution is providing the basic instructional program to the
children of that institution and is therefore in compliance with the compulsory
attendance law.
(6) Should the
county superintendent determine that the children attending a private
institution are not receiving a basic instructional program, he shall specify
the deficiency(ies) to the governing authority of the institution and may allow
the latter a reasonable probationary period of up to six months in which to
correct the deficiency(ies), after which probationary period he shall report
the same to the local attendance officer who then, if necessary shall pursue
the remedies provided by law to assure that proper compulsory attendance at an
institution with at least the basic instructional program is
provided.
(7) The governing
authority of a private institution which is found by the county superintendent
not to provide a basic instructional program may appeal the county
superintendent's decision to the Board of Public Education and the board shall
apply the Administrative Procedure Act in this appeal.
