MARRIED OR PREGNANT STUDENTS
The marriage or pregnancy of a student shall not affect the right of students to receive a public
education nor their privileges as students of the district nor their opportunities to take part in any
extracurricular activities or honors offered by the school. However, in such cases, the following
shall apply:
1. Students who become married shall report the marriage to the principal.
2. Girls who become pregnant and wish to remain in school will be permitted to do so
with the approval of their physician. The physician will state whether or not attendance
and full participation in the regular school program is advisable. If continued attendance
is not advised by the physician, the principal is authorized to make special arrangements
with Board approval, when necessary, for the instruction of the student and to provide an
educational program designed to meet her special needs.
3. A pregnant or married student is subject to the same rules, regulations and disciplinary
actions as are all other students.
