The District does not, however, sponsor <br />student foreign exchange programs nor provide any financial contribution to the student. <br />The Board assumes no responsibility or control over items such as travel, living <br />accommodations, funding, insurance, etc., which remain the responsibility of the <br />sponsor and/or student. <br /> <br /> <br />Guidelines <br /> <br />The following guidelines are established to provide direction for the foreign exchange <br />students program: <br /> <br />1. Foreign exchange students must: <br /> <br />a. be affiliated with a foreign exchange student organization approved by CSIET <br />(Council on Standards for International Educational Travel), or <br /> <br />b. be a private arrangement in compliance with policies of Immigration and <br />Naturalization Services which include payment of tuition to the high school. <br /> <br />c. If a private placement is approved, all other rules that apply to foreign exchange <br />student organizations will apply. <br /> <br />2.

No more than two students will be accepted from any one foreign exchange <br />student organization. <br /> <br />c.
