A student's marital status shall not be a basis for discrimination or other restriction in that student's educational programming. Likewise, the Board of Education supports the provision of modifications and other services to enable resident school age parents to continue their education.

School age parents include any person under the age of twenty-one (21) who is not a high school graduate and is a parent, expectant parent, or a person who has been pregnant within the immediately preceding 120 days.

The school may request medical verification of a pregnant student's ability to continue in all classes in her program. A school age parent, however, may not be compelled to withdraw from his/her regular education program.
