Emergency Release of Students

Release of students in grades K-8, other than the regularly scheduled hours, is prohibited unless a parent/guardian or another authorized responsible person has been notified and has assumed responsibility for the child. Students in grades 9-12 may be released without such notification if the Principal or designee determines that the child is reasonably responsible and notification is not practical.

• When a decision is made, the Principal will notify their Network Director and the District Executive Director of Communications and Community Relations.
• The Principal will determine and communicate the pick-up point or alternate pick up point for bus drivers and parents/guardians. The Principal will relay this information as soon as possible to the Transportation Manager.
