Work Experience

Work Permit Qualifications:

1) An overall 2.0 GPA in the last official report card or grading period (midterm or final)
If you have less than a 2.0 GPA, your current teachers will have input into whether a work permit may be issued.

 2) Attendance and tardies will be reviewed. 

LAUSD Attendance Policy states the following:
"Every student is expected to attend school for the length of the school day on a daily basis unless there is a valid justification for the absence (Education Code Section 48200). The goal for all students is to have 96% attendance or higher, which means no more than seven (7) absences all year long." 
Multiple / Chronic Tardies will also be considered when reviewing your attendance record.

All Absences must be cleared through the Attendance Office prior to requesting a Work Permit. 

3) Behavior referrals will also be reviewed. 

REMEMBER - your JOB is to be the best student you can be!

WORK PERMITS PROCESS

Follow the steps below once you find a job and have a job offer:

• The work permit application (Form B1-1) is attached in these instructions.  Print and complete the form neatly, get it signed by your employer and parents.  See example below.  By completing the Request for Work Permit Form, does not guarantee a granted work permit.  See work permit qualifications.
• Bring the completed “Request for a Work Permit” form with a valid ID to Counselor.
• If the form is complete and approved, a work permit will be issued.
• Remember you will need to renew your work permit when school begins each year or if you change your job.

• REMEMBER to RENEW your work permit when school begins each year. Last school year's and summer work permits are no longer valid.

***A work permit must be revoked whenever the issuing authority determines the employment is illegal or is impairing the health or education of the minor (EC 49164).
