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 laborWork Permits 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.
