1. A pupil enrolled in high school who successfully completes a community service
project which has been approved pursuant to this section must be allowed to apply
not more than one credit received for the completion of the project toward the total

the project duplicates a course of study in which the pupil has received instruction. 2. With the approval of the State Board, the board of trustees of each school district
shall prescribe for the district the: (a) Community service projects for which credit will be granted; (b) Amount of credit which will be granted upon completion of each project; (c) Rules regarding how a pupil may apply for such credit upon completion of a community
service project; and (d) Procedures for obtaining the consent of a parent or legal guardian of a pupil
before the pupil may participate in a community service project for which credit will
be granted.
