the twelfth grade in school shall be given the same educational
privileges and opportunities provided by law for children over the
age of five (5) and under the age of twenty-one (21), upon
submitting to the board of education of the school district in which
the person resides, or the board's designee, evidence satisfactory
to that board showing that during the time before he or she was age
twenty-one (21) he or she was unable to attend school for a definite
period or periods of time, by reason whereof it was impossible for
him or her to complete the twelfth grade before reaching the age of

such attendance has the approval of the district offering the
