Students will be allowed to leave the school district facilities during school hours only with prior authorization from their parents/guardians, unless their parents/guardians appear personally at the student’s attendance center to arrange for the release of the student during school hours, or with the permission of the principal/designee.
Approved reasons for release of a student during the school day will include, but not be limited to, illness, family emergencies, medical appointments, religious instruction, classes outside the student's attendance center, employment for which the student has been issued a work permit and other reasons determined appropriate by the principal.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the principals, to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
