Q:

A:

DVCLC is a non-profit group and is not affiliated with any charter school and cannot accept Charter School funds, however school funds may be used toward approved vendor taught classes.

Q:

A:

Due to California licensing regulations and liability issues, we require that a parent or guardian be on campus AT ALL TIMES for every student and child that is in attendance.  Some exceptions can be made, on occasion. Please speak with a Board Member about these exceptions. Board Member approval will be required.

If a student is brought to co-op by a family member, other than their parent, a medical release waiver (found on the website under “forms”) will need to be filled out ahead of time by the parent and signed, giving permission for that person to bring their student to co-op. That designated relative will need to remain on site with the student the entire time and may need to full fill some of the parents volunteer responsibilities unless other arrangements were made with a fellow DVCLC participant.

Q:

A:

We really do depend on each other to ensure the success of our co-op. Every parent participates. If you’re not quite ready to teach, we have plenty other opportunities for you to pitch in. You will sign up for your volunteer positions at the time of registration.

Q:

A:

Our kids take as many as three classes during the co-op day, but they are not required to attend the full day.
