are determined using this formula:

hours multiplied by .25.
2. For all other courses, the total membership hours divided by one hundred twenty hours
multiplied by .25.
Summer school payments will be made for driver's education only if classroom instruction, driving, and
observation are all completed by the student during summer school and the driver's education credit is
a minimum of one-fourth credit consisting of thirty clock-hours of classroom instruction and twelve
clock-hours of driving and observation time.
