Exclusions from Attendance
BP 5112.20
Exclusions from Attendance
The School Board recognizes that there may be cases where denying admission is necessary because a student's presence in school presents a danger to the life, safety or health of students or school personnel.
The Board may exclude students from school because of a physical or mental condition which in the opinion of a competent medical authority will render the student unable to reasonably benefit from the programs available or will cause the attendance of the student to be harmful to the welfare of other students.
