PREGNANT STUDENTS
School-age mothers, unless they receive adequate assistance, might drop out of school without acquiring the necessary education or without marketable skills.
Pregnant students will be permitted to continue in school. The student and her physician, in cooperation with the school staff, will develop an appropriate educational plan if it is agreed she should no longer attend school regularly.
Every effort will be made to see that the educational program of the student is disrupted as little as possible; that health counseling services, as well as instruction are offered; that return to school after delivery is encouraged; and that every opportunity to complete high school is provided.
