Bill Summary
This bill requires that when a child is enrolled in a school district for the first time, or a child is being withdrawn from enrollment in a school district, each parent or legal guardian of the child must be physically present at the time of enrollment or withdrawal, and the parents or guardians must provide a valid form of identification. If any parent or guardian of the child is unable to be present, a notarized letter shall be provided by the parent or guardian indicating that the parent or guardian agrees that the child is to be enrolled in, or withdrawn from, the school district. Under the bill, the child's parents or guardians must provide to the school district a copy of any custody agreement or custody order pertaining to the child. In addition, the bill requires that a school district's application to enroll or withdraw a child include a question regarding whether there is a pending custody case involving the child.
AI Summary
This bill establishes new procedures for enrolling or withdrawing a child from a school district, requiring that parents or legal guardians be physically present with valid identification during these processes, or provide a notarized letter of agreement if they cannot attend. Additionally, parents or guardians must submit any existing custody agreements or orders to the school district, and the enrollment/withdrawal application will now ask about any pending custody cases involving the child, aiming to ensure all parties with legal standing are aware of and consent to a child's school enrollment or departure.
