DISTRICT'S POSITION ON CUSTODY AGREEMENTS

This information pertains to parents or legal guardians who are divorced or separated.

The District will assume that any individual who is a natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian of a student will have the right to the following:

• Physical custody of the student
• Personally identifiable information concerning the student

A natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian will only be denied such rights if the school receives a copy of a current lawful order, decree or custody agreement. This document will need to specifically deprive the natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian of such rights.

Please note that the District is not responsible for the enforcement of custody orders, decrees or agreements. It is the responsibility of the parent, guardian or other interested person seeking to have those terms implemented to inform the school staff.
