Orig. Code: JECAC/GBH
The Board encourages parents to be involved in their student’s school educational activities and, unless otherwise ordered by the courts, an order of sole custody on the part of one parent shall not deprive the other parent of the following authority as it relates to:
- Receiving and inspecting their student’s education records and consulting with school staff concerning the student’s welfare and education, to the same extent as provided the parent having sole custody;
- Authorizing emergency medical, dental, psychological, psychiatric or other health care for the student if the custodial parent is, for practical reasons, unavailable.
It is the responsibility of the parent with sole custody to provide any court order or parental plan that curtails the rights of the noncustodial parent at the time of enrollment or any other time a court order is issued.
In the case of joint custody, the district will adhere to all conditions specified and ordered by the court.
The district will use reasonable methods to identify and authenticate the identity of both parents.
