File:  IMBB - Exemptions from Required Instruction

If the religious belief and teachings of a student or his parents or legal guardian are contrary to the content of a school subject or to any part of a school activity, the student may be exempt from participation.  To receive such an exemption, the parent or legal guardian must present a written request for exemption to the school principal, stating the conflict involved.

If a student is unable to participate in a physical education class, he must present to the school principal a statement from a physician stating the reason for his inability to participate.

A viable alternative for the assignment(s) shall be determined by the teacher, student and parent.

Exemptions from required instruction do not excuse a student from the total semester hours required for graduation.
