All Taft teachers are Highly Qualified, which meets the State requirement. Students are required to meet with their teacher for a weekly one-hour appointment, during which they receive one-to-one instruction. Students may also be required to attend study labs in addition to their designated appointment with their teacher. All Taft students are subject to a written contract betweenTaft School, the student, and parent that requires 97% attendance and 100% assignment completion. Students enrolled in Taft are considered full-time students and must complete a minimum of 4 hours per day/20 hours per week. Students will also be referred to Dr. Weichmann, Child Welfare Administrator, if insufficient work is not completed within a week’s
time. To be sure students earn sufficient credits in a semester, teachers may assign 30 or more hours per week of homework.
