Any student that fails to meet the immunization requirements within the first thirty (30) school days of enrollment shall not be permitted to attend school for up to ten (10) day consecutive school days. The parent will be provided with an opportunity to be heard by the Board under the District’s student expulsion policy. Notice to this effect shall be provided in writing to the parent and student.
