CUSTODY AND PARENTAL RIGHTS
Students being released before the end of the school day will only be released to immediate family members or individuals authorized by parents or legal guardians, and identification is required when an adult picking up the student is unfamiliar to staff or volunteers.
Disagreements between family members are not the responsibility of the school district. The school district will not take the "side" of one family member over another in a disagreement about custody or parental rights. Court orders that have been issued shall be followed by the school district. It shall be the responsibility of the person requesting an action by the school district to inform and provide the school district the court order allowing such action.
It shall be the responsibility of the employees to remain neutral in a disagreement about custody and parental rights, but this policy does not prohibit an employee from listening to a student's problems and concerns.
