Work Permits
GECS issues work permits to eligible students who are making
satisfactory progress in their studies. For our purposes, days defined
by the department of labor
as “when school is in session” apply only to days when
the student is actually required to be on the school campus.
Remember, it is a privilege to have a work permit, and to keep the permit, the student must be making adequate progress toward high school requirements.

is in session: Daily maximum of 4 hours, Monday through
