The Board expects that all students will participate in the basic instructional program offered by the school district.
However, when requested by parents in writing, a student may be excused from participation in a specific topic of study when required by the student's religious beliefs, disability, or other reasons deemed appropriate by the district.
Such a request should be made directly to the principal of the school. The principal will be responsible for assessing and acting upon the request in a timely fashion. Should the exemption be granted it is with the understanding that the student will have a comparable assignment in an area of related study.
A student receiving an exemption under this policy shall receive no penalties as to grade, credit or graduation.
