Mich. Admin. Code R. 340.10a - Travel time; instructional time

Rule 10a.

(1) A pupil in grades 9 to 12 who is enrolled in a cooperative education program or a special education pupil who cannot meet the minimum required hours of pupil instruction due to the actual travel time between instructional sites may count up to 3 hours of travel time per week toward the minimum required hours.

(2) A district that can document that the actual travel time between the instructional sites for a pupil in subrule (1) of this rule exceeds 3 hours per week may apply to the department for a waiver to count additional travel time toward the minimum required hours of pupil instruction.

(3) A pupil whose actual instructional time plus the actual travel time does not equal the minimum hours of pupil instruction required for a full-time equated membership is ineligible to count any travel time.

(4) A pupil who is also enrolled in a postsecondary institution shall not be considered to be less than a full-time pupil if the actual travel time between the secondary institution and the educating district is the sole reason the pupil cannot enroll in the number of courses necessary to be a full-time equated membership.
