Grading System
A grading or marking system is necessary to inform parents of their students' progress, to maintain information for guidance
purposes, and to meet administrative needs in making decisions concerning promotions, graduation requirements, and other
administrative procedures.

Normally report cards will be issued to students the third school day after the nine-week term ends. Parents are asked to review
these reports carefully and to contact the school if they have any questions concerning the reports.

Parents may also use Ed-Line to check a students' progress or assignments in all classes. Teachers typically update Ed-Line
weekly. Parents should be given a password and instructions as to how to properly view their student's progress.

All term grades for report cards are based on the grading scale which follows:

      A                     90-100

      B                     80-89

      C                     70-79

      D                     68-69

      F                      67 and below

4. 3.  All students will stay in their rooms the full exam period. No one will be allowed to leave the room.
5. 4.  This exam will count 1/4 of the semester grade.
6. 5.  Rolls will be checked at the first of each exam period and absentees reported to the office.

Exemption from Semester and/or Final Exams
Seniors, who have an average of 90 or above when two nine week's grades in a semester are averaged, will not be required to
take mid-term and/or final examinations.  Only seniors may be exempt from mid-term examinations.  Students enrolled in honors classes
in English and mathematics, who have an average of 90 or above when the two nine week's grades in second semester are averaged,
will not be required to take final examinations. 

Students in grades 10-11 and 9th grade students enrolled in Geometry or Spanish II will not be required to take a final examination if they
have achieved  a 93 or above average in a course(s) when the last two nine week's grades are averaged.

Students in grades 6-12 will be given mid-term and final examinations in each course. The semester grade will be determined by
averaging the two nine week's grades in the semester and the exam grade.  The exam grade will not count one fourth of the
semester grade.  The final grade in a course will be determined by averaging the two semester grades.

Registration and Classification
Students in grades 7-8 will be placed in sections by the Headmaster and the faculty according to the best interests of the child.
Promotion depends on the achievement of satisfactory grades on majority of major academic subjects taken.

To be promoted to the 10^th grade, a student must have earned 5 units; to be promoted to the 11^th grade, a student must earn 11
credits; to be promoted to the 12^th grade, a student must have earned 15 units.

Assignment of Students to Classes
The assignment of students to classes shall be the responsibility of the Administrative staff at Oak Hill Academy.  At the
elementary level, assignments will be made randomly except in cases where the administrative staff shall determine that the
assignment of a child to specific teacher is in the best interest of the child or Oak Hill Academy.  Assignment to classes at the
secondary level will be based on student/parent course selections and the availability of space in the class(es).  When classes are
full, students may be given an alternate choice or assigned to an available class which the student will need for graduation. 
Upperclassmen will be given priority when classes must be closed.

The Board realizes that, from time-to-time, parents may have a classroom preference.  Parents may submit request for the
assignment of their child to a certain classroom, and their request will be honored when possible.  However, it shall be the
responsibility of the administrative staff to make final assignment.

Graduation Requirements and Class Rank for the Classes of 2008 through 2011

    In order to graduate from Oak Hill Academy, a student must have earned a minimum of twenty-two Carnegie units of course credit. Of this number, sixteen designated units are required and four must be chosen from the approved list of the other academic courses. The two remaining units may be earned by taking any of the approved courses or non-academic electives. Approved academic courses include Advanced Placement and Honors courses. Non-academic electives will not be used to compute academic GPA. Class rank is determined by the weighted numeric average , which is computed by taking all semester grades, adding 3 points to the semester grades of each Honors course taken and by adding 5 points to the semester grades of each Advanced Placement course taken, then dividing by the total number of semesters. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attendance
Regular and punctual attendance is essential if students are to earn and maintain satisfactory grades. Students are expected to
attend school all day, every day, unless illness or some type of emergency prohibits them from doing so. An excessive number of
absences will require a conference with the student, his/her parents and the headmaster, and they may lead to the student's
removal from a specific course and or failure of said courses. Parents are urged to see that their children do not miss school
unless it is absolutely necessary.

Students absent for any reason other than school-related activities for more that ten (10) days per semester course or twenty
(20) days per year-long course may not receive academic credit for the course(s) in which the absences have occurred. 
Exceptions concerning illness will be open to review by the Headmaster and/or the Discipline Committee of the Board of
Directors.  No student is to be excused for piano or work from a class in which credit is given.

Absences from School
Oak Hill Academy classifies absenteeism into two (2) categories: excused and unexcused. All homework must be made up
regardless of whether the absence is excused or unexcused. However, if a student is unexcused and has missed a test, he/she
will not be permitted to take a make-up test. If there is any question on whether the absence is excused or unexcused, the
decision of the headmaster will be final. Seniors with excessive tardies or absences will lose seniors privileges.

When a student is absent from school, parents should call the school the morning of the absence, or send a note with the student
when the student returns to school.  When a student is tardy, he/she must have an admit slip to be excused.

Students absent from school will not be permitted to participate in extracurricular activities on that date. This policy applies to
athletes, cheerleaders, student managers, etc. Other students who attend extracurricular activities but did not attend classes that
day will automatically place their excuse in jeopardy. Repeated absences from assigned tests will not be tolerated.

Tardiness to School or Class
Students are expected to be at school and to each class on time. Each student will be allowed four tardies to first period class
and two excused tardies to class each semester. Any additional tardies to school or to class will result in the student having to
attend a thirty minute detention before school or at the end of school. If tardies persist, the student may be suspended from school
or be assigned other appropriate sanctions.  

Policy Pertaining to Make-up Work
All outside work, homework, class work, and tests will be made up within seven (7) days from the date due. After that, all teachers
will record "0" grades. Teachers cannot accept make-up work of after (7) days from due date. Any exceptions will be cleared
through the headmaster. It will be the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the teacher to get make-up work
done.

If a student comes to school for a part of the day, he/she will be expected to turn in all homework assignments, reports, etc., to
his/her teachers before leaving school. Tests missed when students check out of school during the day must be made up the day
they return.

Honor Roll
Honor roll is calculated at the end of each nine week period. In order to be on the honor roll, a student must have earned a "B" or
higher in each subject for that nine week period.

Permission to leave school
Permission to leave school before the regular dismissal time must be obtained from the headmaster's office for students in
grades 6-12. Elementary students will secure permission from the elementary principal.

Students in grades 6-12 must bring a note from their parents stating the reason for leaving and the time leaving or have parents
call the office.  Students will not be allowed to leave unless a parent or guardian has been contacted. This information must be
given to the office prior to first period in the morning so that the student's name and time of dismissal can be put on the absentee
list. Failure to do so will lead to an unexcused absence except in emergency situations.

Students who have parental permission to check out of school before the end of the school day must have a reason for leaving
which is acceptable to the school if the student is to receive an excused absence.

Students who receive unexcused absences in study hall will be assigned appropriate disciplinary measure. The headmaster is
responsible for determining whether or not the absence is excused.

Conduct and Discipline
The Board of Directors, faculty, and administrative staff believe that a well disciplined school is imperative if the educational and
social goals of the parents and school are to be achieved. Oak Hill is committed to an environment both in and out of classrooms
which promotes the educational, moral, and social development of its students.

We realize that the only kind of discipline which will have a lifelong impact on our students is self-discipline, and we at Oak Hill will
place great emphasis on the development of the skill in each of our students. This skill will be reinforced by placing responsibilities
on each student and expecting him/her to live up to those responsibilities. We will expect much of our students, but we will be
here to help them meet assigned responsibilities and to succeed academically, morally, and socially.

Oak Hill Academy will not set forth an all inclusive set of rules and regulations for its students in this handbook. We believe that
our students have been taught how to conduct themselves by their parents, and we will expect them to conduct themselves
properly at all times. The student Code of Conduct set forth herein was developed by Oak Hill Academy Student Advisory
Council and adopted by the Board of Directors of the Clay County Educational Foundation.

Students will be governed by the premise that any conduct which is disruptive and keeps other students from learning or the
school from fulfilling its mission is in violation of school regulations and will lead to disciplinary action by the principal or
headmaster. Oak Hill students will be responsible for complying with school rules and regulations and for proper conduct while
on school premises, in school buildings, on school-owned vehicles, and at all school-sponsored or relative activities.

The headmaster may institute appropriate disciplinary action such as suspension of any student for disorderly conduct or
misconduct including but not limited to the following:

1. Fighting
2. Disorderly conduct
3. Harassment, intimidation, or threats to students or teachers
4. Disrespect or rudeness
5. Failure to follow the reasonable directives of faculty and/or administrative staff
6. Insubordination
7. Insulting language or behavior
8. Obscene language, gestures, or profanity
9. Vandalism
10. Theft
11. Damage to private or school property
12. Unauthorized entry on private property
13. Use, possession, sale, or being under the influence of alcohol or drugs
14. Indecent exposure
15. Excessive unexcused absences or tardies
16. Any offense otherwise punishable by law

 
  Courting   

   Physical contact between students is not permitted on campus. Improper conduct of this nature will subject students involved to
   disciplinary action by the administrative staff. Proper decorum is expected at all times.

 
  Transportation

   Parents are responsible for transportation of their children to and from school. Once students arrive at school in the morning,
   they will not be allowed to leave the campus or be in or around cars until school is dismissed in the afternoon. Driver's must have
   a valid driver's license to drive on campus.

  Care of Buildings

   We are proud of our buildings, and we are sure our students will want to do everything in their power to keep them as attractive
   as they are now. Parents and friends have sacrificed to make this excellent facility available. Let's all show our appreciation by
   taking care of it. 

 

   It is the policy of the Board of Directors to require any student who defaces or destroys school property to
   restore or replaced the damaged item.

 
  Gum Chewing

   Chewing gum is not permitted at Oak Hill. Students are encouraged to cooperate with the school in keeping our buildings clean

  Drugs

   The use, possession, sale or distribution of drugs/alcohol on the grounds, in the buildings or on vehicles owned or leased by

   are subject to regulations set forth in the Clay County Educational Foundation, Inc. policy entitled Drug Education and
   Screening. A copy of said policy is included in this handbook.

  Contraband Items

I  Items such as knives, firearms of any type, protective sprays such as MACE and pepper are not to be brought on the school
   campus, into school owned facilities, or on school transportation equipment at any time. The violation of this regulation may
   lead to the removal of the offending person from school.

  Telephone

   Office phones are for business calls, and students will not be permitted to use the phone without permission. The office is a very
   busy place, and more and more calls are being received asking that messages be given to students. Please call the office only
   in case of an emergency with messages for students. Please make all necessary arrangements with your child before he/she
   leaves home in the morning. Cell phones must be turned off (not on silent or vibrate) from 7:45 a.m. until 3:10. Teachers will take
   up any cell phone and turn it in to the headmaster on first offense. The student faces suspension on the second offense.

 
  Cheating

   The Board of Directors of the Clay County Educational Foundation recognizes its obligation to maintain academic integrity at
   Oak Hill Academy. Therefore, the Board has established the following policy:

I.              Cheating in any form will not be tolerated, which includes the giving or receiving of info on tests, homework, or daily
assignments.

II.           If a student is caught cheating he/she will receive a zero and spend one day (seven consecutive periods) in internal
suspension with a zero given in each period. A second offense in the same year will result in two days suspension with a
zero given for each class missed while in suspension.

III.         Students will be taught in each classroom the difference between working together and copying another student's work.

                                 Dress Code

Policy of Board of Directors
Clay County Educational Foundation
Reference: Eligibility for Extra Curricular Activities

The Board of Directors of the Clay County Educational Foundation believes that it is a privilege to participate in extra-curricular
activities sponsored by the school.  This policy applies to all extra-curricular activities including sports, band, cheerleading,
dance team, and clubs etc.  In order for a student to participate in extra curricular activities, the following academic requirements
shall be met:

1.  Students are required to meet the minimum requirements set forth by the Mississippi Private School Association (the MAIS).

2.  In addition to meeting the requirements of the MAIS, each student must maintain a passing average at each reporting period
     in four subjects during the school year.  The reporting periods will coincide with the regular mid-nine week's progress report
     and the nine weeks report cards.

3.  In the event a student does not maintain a passing average in four subjects for the preceding reporting period:

a)   The student will be placed on probation until the next reporting period ends.

b)      At the end of the probationary period, the grade averages will be checked and if the student has a passing
grade in four subjects he/she will be released from probationary status.

c)      If at the end of the reporting period the student does not have a passing average in four subjects, the student
will be ineligible for participation in extra-curricular games or events until the next reporting period is completed.

d)      The student will be restored to full eligibility upon achieving a passing average in four subjects in a reporting
period or subsequent periods.

4.  The school administration will notify the parents, teachers, and coaches or sponsor of any student not meeting these extra-
      curricular eligibility requirements.

Cafeteria
All students are to eat their lunches in the cafeteria during the designated time.  While eating, good table manners are to be used. 
When the meal is finished, trash is to be placed in proper containers.  Food and drink are not to be taken from the cafeteria at
any time.  No food or drinks are allowed in classrooms or hallways.

Visitors
All visitors to campus must check in at the principal's office prior to entering school buildings.  Students are not to have visitors
at school unless permission from the office is granted.  There will be no student visitor during the lunch period without prior
approval by the Headmaster.

Report Cards
Report cards will go out on the Wednesday following the end of the grading period.  Students must return report cards by the
following Monday.

School Trips
From time to time, students will be involved in field trips related to subject matter being taught in class.  The application for
admission to Oak Hill Academy includes a statement which a parent or guardian must sign before a student will be permitted to
participate in these field trip activities.  No student will be permitted to take a school sponsored trip until the aforementioned
parental consent is granted.  The field trip must be educational.

Reserved Parking
Each student who drives his/her car to school will be assessed a $20.00 per year parking fee.  Funds generated through these
payments will be used to offset the cost of decals, to keep the parking lot maintained, and to help pay for traffic control officers. 
When assigning student parking, priority will be given to upperclassmen. 

Corporal Punishment
Corporal punishment may be used as a sanction for misconduct at Oak Hill Academy.  It will be used in compliance with rules
and regulations set forth in board policy and only after other sanctions have been tried.

Student and Patron Conduct at MAIS Sanctioned Contests
Mississippi Private School Association rules regulate player, student, and fan conduct at all games and athletic contests
sanctioned by MPSA, and misconduct toward opposition players, coaches, game officials, or fans from the opposing team
will lead to sanctions against the offending school, player, and/or fans.  These sanctions may be in the form of monetary fines
and/or removal of the team(s) from playoff competition.

Oak Hill fans, coaches, and players have always demonstrated the highest level of good sportsmanship, and we encourage
the continuation of this tradition.

Homework and Study Habits
Success in the academic field is enhanced by efficient study habits.  Time in the classroom is spent in acquainting the student
with study techniques, but the knowledge of techniques must work hand in hand with independent thinking and concentration. 
For this reason, the faculty recommends that there be a quiet place at home for study and that a sufficient amount of uninterrupted
time be devoted to this aspect of academic training.

The school attempts to instill in the student a desire to learn to the best of his/her ability.  Parents can help in this effort by taking
the position that school is of major importance, that its schedule must be observed, and that outside activities must not be so
time consuming or numerous as to infringe on the time necessary for school work.

General guides to the development of proper study habit:

1.      Have regular time and place to study each subject.

2.      Use your will power to keep at your task.

3.      Concentrate on your work.

4.      Keep up your assignments from day to day.

5.      Keep well physically in order to feel like studying.

6.      Have sufficient materials at  hand to use in study.

7.      Improve your reading habits and skills.  Ability to read well is a prerequisite to effective study.

8.      Do not be afraid of the dictionary.

9.      Realize that learning pays off.  Take pride in being a good student.

Accreditation
Oak Hill Academy is fully accredited at the highest level by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the
Mississippi Association of  Independent Schools.

Severe Weather
If dangerous or severe weather occurs, the Headmaster may deem it necessary to close the school during the day or before
school in the morning.  If a decision is made to close school, an announcement will be broadcast on local television and radio
station.

Parent Conferences
Parents are encouraged to conference with individual teachers concerning any question(s) they may have about their child. 
Conferences may be scheduled through the office of the Headmaster or Elementary Principal.

Visitor and Messages
Oak Hill Academy believes that uninterrupted teaching time is essential if students are to receive the greatest benefit from
instruction given; therefore, we guard this time carefully.  If a parent has a message or package for his/her child, the parent is
requested to leave the note or item with office personnel.  They will see that the message is delivered.

School Traffic
The school campus is congested with traffic when parents are dropping off students for school and picking them up in the
afternoon.  Parents and students are requested to be very careful while driving on campus to avoid accidents.  Parents should
park only in lanes 1 & 4 to allow a constant flow of traffic in lanes 2 & 3.

Correspondence Courses
A maximum of two units of correspondence course or online work can be accepted toward graduation.  Correspondence course
must be recommended by the Guidance Counselor and approved by the Headmaster prior to the student’s enrollment in the
course.

knowingly initiate attempts to enroll or bring about the transfer of a student from another member school.

Sexual Harassment Policy for Students
Intent of Board of Directors

In accordance with Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended in 1972, section 703, no student enrolled at Oak Hill
Academy shall be subject to sexual harassment.

It is the intent of the Board of Directors to maintain an environment free from sexual harassment of any kind.  Therefore, sexual
advancements, request for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature amounting to or constituting
harassment are strictly prohibited.

Definition of Terms

Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment
and are in violation of this policy.  Criteria which constitute sexual harassment are as follows:

Submission to such conduct is made, either implicitly or explicitly, a term or condition of grades or promotion.

Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for decisions affecting such individual, i.e.,
participation in extracurricular activities.

Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonable interference with the student's work performance or creating an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive teaching/learning environment.

Criteria A and B are examples of quid pro quo or conditional sexual harassment.  Criteria C is an example of a hostile
teaching/learning environment.

Legal Reference

Title VII Civil Rights Act 1964, as amended in 1972, section 703.

Requirements and Procedures for Processing Sexual Harassment Complaints by Students or
Employees of Oak Hill Academy

Forward

The Board of Directors of the Clay County Educational Foundation has expressed, through Board policy, its intent to provide a
school environment for its students and employees which is "free from sexual harassment of any kind."

Therefore, students or employees of the Clay County Education Foundation are encouraged to report unwelcome sexual
advances, requests for sexual favors, or any other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature amounting to or constituting
harassment.  Complaints may be made without fear of reprisal.

Requirements for Processing Complaints

            Since it is important that complaints be filed and processed as rapidly as possible, the number of           

            days indicated at each step is considered as maximum, and every effort will be made to expedite

the process.  At any step in the complaint procedure, the time limits may be extended when necessary.

            References to days are working days and do not include holidays and/or weekends

Facts elicited during the top two proceedings are confidential and do not become part of the student's permanent record
or employee's personnel file.  A copy of documents, communications, and records dealing with the processing of a
complaint will be filed in a separate file in the office of the Headmaster.

The failure of a complainant to proceed from one step of the procedure to the next within the set time limits shall be
deemed to be acceptance of the decision previously rendered and shall eliminate any future review concerning that
particular complaint.

The failure of the reviewing officer(s) to communicate his/her decision to the complainant within the time limits provided
shall permit the complainant to proceed to the next step.

The complainant may withdraw his/her complaint at any step without prejudice.  However,  he/she shall not be permitted
to re-file that same complaint once withdrawn.

No reprisal shall be invoked against any student or employee for filing a complaint or for participation in any way in this
procedure.

If the complaint is against the Headmaster, the complainant should report the complaint to the President of the Board of
Directors.

Representation of a complainant or alleged harasser by another individual is not permitted.

Procedures for Processing Complaints

Step 1
Any student or employee of the Clay County Educational Foundation who believes that he/she is the victim of sexual harassment
is encouraged to report the facts and circumstances surrounding the matter to the headmaster.  The initial report may be made
orally; however, a written report must be filed by the complainant prior to any investigation of the matter by school officials.  The
complaint should be filed as soon after the occurrence of the incident as possible but in no case more than ten days after the
occurrence.  A copy of this complaint shall be kept on file in the office of the Headmaster and one copy provided the President of
the Board of Directors.

Step Two
Upon receipt of the written complaint, the Headmaster and/or his/her designee shall investigate the matter and develop a written
statement of findings.  The report shall be completed not less than ten days after receipt of the written complaint.  The accused
shall be advised of the charge(s) against him/her and shall have the right to respond orally and/or by written statement to the
charges.  The report developed by the Headmaster shall contain, but not be limited to, the written statement of the aggrieved and
any written response to the charges made by the accursed.

Step Three
The Headmaster shall meet separately with the aggrieved and the accused not later than twelve days after the written complaint
has been received and advise them of the findings and actions to be taken to resolve the matter.

The aggrieved and the accused shall be informed by the headmaster of their right to appeal the findings of the Headmaster to the
Faculty and Policy Committee of the Clay County Education Foundation.  Any such requests must be made in writing within ten
days after their receipt of the Headmaster's findings.

Step Four
In the event a request for an appeal of the Headmaster's decision is made to the Board of Directors, the Faculty and Policy
Committee of the Board shall meet and determine whether or not the request for appeal will be granted, and the appellant will be
notified in writing within ten days of the Committee's decision.

If the Committee agrees to consider the appellant's, such consideration will normally consist of a review of the Headmaster’s
findings, the written complaint, and any written statement(s) provided the Headmaster by the accused.  If the Committee
determines that additional information is needed, it shall have the right to examine witnesses and to take any additional steps
required to properly investigate the matter.

The Committee will provide both parties a written statement of its findings and/or decision not later than thirty days after
completion of the hearing.

The Committee may, at its discretion, request that the entire Board hear the appeal or that the findings of the Committee be
presented to the entire Board.  In such cases, the entire membership of the Board shall participate in adjudication of the matter. 
In either event, the appellant will be notified within thirty days of the decision of the Committee or Board.

The decision of the Faculty and Policy Committee or Board shall be final.

General Provisions

A.                 The complainant and alleged harasser will be notified of scheduled interviews and hearings by

Complaints Against School Personnel

I.                    Complaint Procedure

A.     In order to remediate problems which involve school employees quickly and effectively, it is essential that the
problem be addressed and resolved as near the source of the problem as possible.  Therefore, the person making
complaint should address the complaint to the person with whom the problem exists.  If there is a problem with a
teacher, the parent should talk to the teacher and attempt to resolve it at that level.  The same process should be
followed when there is a problem with the Headmaster or any other school employee.  If the problem cannot be
resolved at that level, the parent may appeal to the employee's immediate supervisor.  The appeal procedure
outlined in item II is available to every parent.

B.     Complaints will be considered by the administrative staff on an individual basis only, and appeals to the Board will
be limited to those complaints filed by the parent or legal guardian of a student attending Oak Hill Academy.

C.     No complaint filed by a third party on behalf of an Oak Hill Academy parent or student will be considered.

D.     Initial complaints filed with a board member against a school employee will be referred to the Headmaster.        

       II.        Appeal Procedure
                  A.     Request for appeal or a complaint against a staff member will be made to the Headmaster.  Staff members
                        include non-teaching employees, such as office personnel, custodians, and cafeteria employees.
                  B.     Request for appeal of complaint against any elementary teacher will be made to the Elementary Principal and then
                        to the Headmaster if the problem has not been solved by the Elementary Principal.
                  C.     Request for appeal of complaint against a secondary teacher (grades 7-12) will be made to the Headmaster.
                  D.     Requests for appeal of complaint against the Elementary Principal will be made to the Headmaster.
                  E.      Request for appeal of a complaint against the Headmaster will be made in writing to the President of the Board of
                        Directors.  The President of the Board will assign the complaint to the appropriate standing Committee of the Board
                        for consideration and resolution.  A standing committee has the authority to resolve the matter at the committee
                        level or to recommend a resolution of the problem for action by the entire Board of Directors. F.      When the results
                        of an appeal of a complaint to the Headmaster are not satisfactory to the person making the complaint, the
                        complainant may appeal the decision of the Headmaster to the Chairman of the Board of Directors.  The appeal
                        must be made in writing, and the same process outlined in item E will be followed.
                 G.     The decision of the standing committee of the board or the Board of Directors will be final.
                 H.     The Board of Directors of the Clay County Educational Foundation, Inc. may decline to hear an appeal if it desires
                        to do so.  In such cases the decision of the Headmaster will be final.

II.                 General Provisions

A.     At the time an appeal is made to the Headmaster and a decision has been rendered by the Headmaster, the
parent(s) will be notified of his right to appeal the decision of the Headmaster.

B.     Only parents or legal guardians may appeal decisions covered under this policy to the Board.

C.     In all cases, persons against whom a complaint has been made will be notified of the complaint, the reason(s) for
the complaint, and the name of person(s) making the complaint.

D.     Students making a complaint to the Elementary Principal or Headmaster may not appeal the decision of the
Administrator to the Board under this policy.

E.      No anonymous complaints will be accepted or considered by the Board or Administrative staff.

Asbestos Report
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1987 requires all public and private schools to inspect for friable and non-
friable asbestos building materials.  In addition, this law requires each school to develop asbestos management plan that
addresses asbestos hazards in school buildings, implement response actions in a timely fashion, and report results of the
assessment studies to school employees and parent-teacher organizations.

Oak Hill Academy has undergone periodic inspections in compliance with the aforementioned act, and we are please to
announce that Oak Hill Academy has no friable asbestos in any area of the school.  Friable asbestos is material that is easily
crumbled and may release harmful fibers into the environment.  Friable asbestos may cause severe health problems, depending
on the level and duration of exposure.

The following buildings do, however, contain non-friable asbestos in the materials designated:

1. Cafeteria -Mis-Floor tile mastic in dining room.
2. Gymnasium - Mis-Floor tile and/or mastic in the lobby, stage, gym, dressing areas, and closet.
3. Sixth Grade Building - Mis-Floor tile mastic in entire building.
4. Building D - Mis-Floor tile mastic in entire building.
5. Building C - Mis-Floor tile in girls' rest room and Mis-Floor tile mastic in entire building.
6. High School Building - Mis-Floor tile and mastic in classrooms.
7. Flexible duct in heating and air conditioning closets.
8. Football field press box.

None of the material listed above poses a health hazard as long as it remains undamaged.  Through a program of training
and surveillance, we are sure that these materials pose no health threat until they are removed.  Oak Hill Academy is
inspected by an outside inspector on a regular basis in order to assure that the school is in compliance with all federal
regulations and that these materials remain in good condition and pose no health threat.  Copies of the inspection and
management plan are available for examination in the Headmaster's office.

Board policy states that any tuition payment not paid in full by the 16th of the month will have a $30.00 per child late fee assessed.  Any payments received after that date will go first toward the late payment and then toward tuition.  Policy also states that if your tuition becomes more than 90 days past due your tuition must be paid in full or your child/children may be dismissed from Oak Hill Academy.

Parents have the option of paying tuition in twelve installments; however, the first payment must be made on or before June 1, 2010, and the second installment must be paid on or before July 1, 2010.

Building fund fees and registration fees are non-refundable.
All payments will be made in compliance with Board policy.
