105.1. Parental Assurances

The Board recognizes that parents are assured the opportunity to access information about the district's curriculum, instruction, and testing. Parents have the right to have their child(ren) excused from State assessments, as well as specific instruction which conflicts with their religious beliefs or personal beliefs.

These assurances are stated in Chapter 5 Curriculum Regulations, 5.4 (d), adopted by the State Board of Education, 1992.

The Superintendent or designee shall establish procedures to implement the requirements of Chapter 5 and to ensure the parents the following:

1. The ability to access information about the district's curriculum, instructional materials and assessment techniques.
2. A process for the review of instructional materials.
3. The right to have their child(ren) excused from specific instruction which conflicts with their religious or personal beliefs. A signed, written request from the parent to the building principal is required.
4. The right to have their child(ren) excused from the State assessments. A signed, written parental request needs to be forwarded to the building principal.

Parents are to address their concerns regarding the above to the administration.
