File:  JLIB-R - Student Dismissal Precautions

1.  The enrollment records of the district will include information regarding the marital status of a student's parents.  Such status will be reviewed each year.  The parents will be informed that this information is requested solely to protect their rights as parents/guardians.

2.  If a student's parents are divorced or legally separated, district personnel will request a copy of the legal document pertaining to child custody.  If the custody decree is from a state other than Colorado, the decree must indicate that it has been filed with the clerk of any district court of Colorado.

3.  The school secretary will keep a card file easily accessible to the principal to flag the files of students whose parents are divorced or legally separated or have other special custody arrangements.

4.  If a person whom the principal does not recognize appears at school requesting the early dismissal of a student, the principal will ask for identification such as a driver's license.
