§ 51764 Student Work Experience Programs

• •Kids can work part-time jobs if the job helps them learn something useful for school.
• •The school must say the job is okay and helps with learning.
• •A school worker has to make sure the job and schoolwork fit together.

A high school student works at a bakery after school.

The school checks the job and says it’s good because the student learns about math (measuring ingredients) and teamwork. A teacher makes sure the job doesn’t mess up the student’s homework or classes.
