EMPLOYMENT OF STUDENTS

The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board realizes that some students may need to have part-time employment positions.  Senior high school students over the age of 16 may be allowed to complete their senior classes in the morning, if their class schedules can be so arranged, in order for the student to be released for part-time employment in the afternoons.  Before release of the student, proof of employment shall be submitted by the student.  The school reserves the right to monitor a student's continued employment.

WORK PERMITS

Work permits are issued for youth to work only during vacation time and after school hours.  No work permit can be issued for a high school student to work during the hours that school is in session.  Work permits for the youth of East Baton Rouge Parish shall be issued at the School Board office by the Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance.  Any additional information needed by students or teachers may be obtained by inquiring at the School Board office.

Youth between the ages of 18 and 21 are not required to have work permits but may be issued certificates of age upon request of the employer.
