Student Release During School Hours

Code No.: 501.4
STUDENT RELEASE DURING SCHOOL HOURS
Students will be allowed to leave the school district facilities during school hours only with prior
authorization from their parents/guardian, unless the parent 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 day will include, but not be limited to,
school sponsored events, illness, family emergencies, medical appointments, religious instruction,
classes outside the student’s attendance center and other reasons determined appropriate by the principal.
It is the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the principal, to develop administrative
regulations regarding this policy.
