5006.1 Shasta Liberty BP Independent Study

Board Policy 5006.1 establishes an optional independent study framework designed to deliver core curriculum aligned with state standards and A-G requirements. Each student must have a signed Master Agreement for each school year, with a maximum allowable period of 20 business days between assignment date and completion. The policy triggers an evaluation of program fit if a student misses 30% of assignments during a learning period or fails to make adequate progress. It mandates tiered re-engagement strategies for chronic absences or non-participation in synchronous sessions, details live interaction/synchronous instruction expectations by grade level (TK–3, 4–8, 9–12), and guarantees families the option to return to in-person instruction within 5 business days.
