FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT PROGRAM 4090

The Edenton-Chowan School System is committed to admitting foreign exchange students. The experience will broaden the cultural understanding of the students as well as the host school and community.

The benefits of such programs carry with them the responsibility of taking reasonable measures to protect the safety and well being of the exchange students and the host families while at the same time not burdening the school or school system unnecessarily. All agencies wishing to operate in the Edenton-Chowan Schools must be approved by the Edenton-Chowan Board of Education. Such agencies must follow the regulations established by Edenton-Chowan Schools in administering their programs in the school system. Furthermore, all such agencies must adhere to state and federal regulations related to foreign exchange programs. The agency sponsoring exchange students must accept responsibility for the safety and well being of students in its program and in responding to concerns of the host family and the school.

The Director of Curriculum and Instructional Services shall administer the foreign exchange program in the Edenton-Chowan School System and develop appropriate regulations and procedures.
