Age of Majority

In view of Public Act 127 of the 1972 Legislature which establishes 18 years of age majority, the following policies are adopted:

1. The school system recognizes its moral responsibility to the parent regardless of the age of the students in its charge. All communications concerning attendance matters, early dismissals, late admissions, field trips, etc., will be maintained with parents/guardians. Eighteen (18) year old students may request direct communication and parents shall be notified of that action. The school may continue or resume contact with parents at any time.

2. The school recognizes the right of the eighteen (18) year old to examine all of his/her personal school records.

3. Any student at or above the age of majority who, independent of parents or guardian, takes up residence in the Town of Seymour and enrolls in the Seymour School System shall be required by the principal of the school in which he/she enrolls to submit a Certificate of Residence certifying that he/she is indeed in residence within the Seymour School District, said certificates to be attested to by the owner, renter or lessee of the property wherein he/she resides. Such certificates must be completed and placed in the hands of the school principal within five (5) calendar days from the date of entrance on the student in question.
