Community interest classes are not state funded, but rather are paid for by the fees generated at enrollment. Refunds for community interest classes must be requested seven working days prior to the beginning of the class. No refunds are granted after that point, unless the seat in the class can be filled by a new enrollment. The school district facilitates community interest classes for the benefit of the general public, however all instruction is based on the knowledge and experience of the instructor and does not necessarily represent a state or district approved curriculum. Instructors of community interest classes are not required to hold state teaching credentials, however they are required to be fingerprinted and screened in accordance with district school employee policies.
