Description

Substitute schools may only be established and operated with state approval. The application, together with all the necessary documents, must be submitted to the relevant government as the school supervisory authority no later than four months before the start of the school year.

Approval shall be granted if

• the alternative school does not lag behind the public schools in its teaching objectives and facilities and in the academic or artistic training of its teaching staff,
• a segregation of pupils according to the property status of their parents is not promoted,
• the economic and legal position of the teaching staff is sufficiently secure.

An elementary school shall be approved as a substitute school only if the competent government as school supervisory authority recognizes a special educational interest or, at the request of legal guardians, if it is to be established as a community school or as a confessional or ideological school and a public elementary school of this type does not exist in the municipality concerned.

State-approved secondary schools which meet the requirements of Art. 7 a BayEUG may receive approval as secondary schools.
