5230 - LATE ARRIVAL AND EARLY DISMISSAL

It is necessary that a student be in attendance throughout the school day in order to benefit fully from the educational program of the ESC.

The Governing Board recognizes, however, that from time-to-time compelling circumstances require that a student be late to school or dismissed before the end of the school day.

As agent responsible for the education of the children of this ESC, the Governing Board shall require that the school be notified in advance of such absences by written request of the student’s parent, which shall state the reason for the tardiness or early dismissal. Justifiable reasons shall be determined by the building principal/program manager.

If one (1) parent has been awarded custody of the student by the courts, the parent of custody shall provide the school with a copy of the custody order and inform the school in writing of any limitations in the rights of the noncustodial parent. Absent such notice, the school shall presume that the student may be released into the care of either parent.

No student who has a medical disability that may be incapacitating may be released without a person to accompany him/her.

No student shall be released to anyone who is not authorized such custody by the parents.
