Students will be allowed to leave the school district facilities during school hours only with prior authorization from their parent/guardians, unless the parent/guardian appears 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.

Approved reasons for release of a student during the school shall include, but not be limited to, illness, family emergencies, medical appointments, recognized religious instruction, classes outside the student’s attendance center, school sponsored or approved activities and other reasons determined appropriate by the principal.

Students in grade twelve (12) may be allowed to leave the school district facilities when they are not scheduled to be in class. Students who violate school rules may have this privilege suspended.

It is the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the principal, to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy. CROSS REF.: Student Attendance
