In the event that a host family placement is not working out, it will be the job of the agency to find a replacement home. Asking the school staff, teachers, coaches, or the foreign exchange student to find a home will not be permitted. Failure to comply with the procedures will jeopardize organizations’ ability to place foreign exchange students in School District 49.
Approvals for admission must be obtained from the principal or administrative designee by June 1 for fall enrollment or by December 15 for spring enrollment, except under unusual circumstances.
