Removal/Release of Student During School Hours  

The board recognizes its responsibility for the proper care of students during school hours.  Students will not be removed from school grounds, any school building or school function  during school hours except by a person authorized according to district procedures. Before a  student is removed or excused, the person seeking to remove the student must present to the  satisfaction of the superintendent or principal evidence of his/her proper authority to remove the  student. A teacher should not excuse a student from class to confer with anyone unless the  request is approved by the principal. The superintendent is directed to establish procedures for  the removal of a student during school hours.  

Prior to sending a student to his/her home for illness, discipline or a corrective action, the  principal will attempt to reach the student's parent to inform him/her of the school's action and to  request that he/she come to the school for the child. If the principal cannot reach the parent, the  student will remain at school until the close of the school day. A student may be released to a law  enforcement officer in accordance with the district policy.
