Policy Detail

I. PURPOSE

A. To establish who shall be considered the parent responsible for a student in matters pertaining to the student’s primary residence for school purposes and communication between home and school. This regulation also addresses the right of parents to determine the release of a student during the school day, to access student information, and to participate in school activities.

B. In response to increasing requests from noncustodial or joint-custodial parents to participate in decisions about a child, this regulation also establishes procedures for resolving disputes between parents regarding school matters affecting the student. This regulation, not custody orders or settlement agreements between parents, governs school decisions.

C. This regulation is not intended to restrict rights granted to either parent under state or federal law.
