Dear Parents:
During the legislative session of 1994, the Alabama Legislature amended
Act 93-672 as codified in the Alabama Code 16-28-12 (1975). The
legislation has important implications for parents. The purpose of this
letter is to inform you of the statutory requirements of Alabama Code
16-28-12 (1975) and the procedures to be followed.
Parental
responsibilities are as follows:
→ To enroll children between the ages of 7 and 16 in school (public
school, private school, church
school or to be instructed by a private tutor).
→ To require any child enrolled to regularly attend school or to be
regularly instructed by a tutor.
→ To compel the child to properly conduct himself/herself as a pupil.
Parents should be
aware that:
→ Inappropriate student conduct or behavior may result in suspension
from school. (The
Student Code of Conduct is attached and defines proper conduct.)
→ Out-of-School suspensions/Alternative School placements shall be
reported to the
Superintendent of Education and to the District Attorney.
→ Parents, guardians or other persons having control or custody of the
student are subject to
prosecution for violation of this law.
→ The Early Warning Truancy Prevention Program and the School Conduct
Intervention
Program shall be followed to implement this legislation (copies
attached, please read).
In an effort to assure that parents are informed of their school related
responsibilities, the State Board of Education has mandated that you
receive notification which addresses civil liabilities and criminal
penalties for violence or other misbehavior by students on school
property or against school employees. It’s the Law! (copy attached) is
provided to advise you of these school-related civil liabilities and
criminal penalties.
Also, you will find attached information about the Protection of Pupil
Rights Amendment, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the Unsafe
School Option Policy and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
of 1974. These are important rights of students and parents. You are
encouraged to read these documents carefully and retain them for future
reference.
Although most students are regular in attendance and conduct themselves
properly, it is necessary to notify all parents of the requirements of
this and related legislation and the procedures which will be followed
in the event violations occur. You are encouraged to read the enclosed
documents carefully. Sign the acknowledgment statement which documents
the receipt of this information and return it to the school.
Sincerely,
Dennis R. Coe
Superintendent
