Schools May Not Notify Parent When Child Is Released To Obtain Confidential Medical Services

The Modesto City School Board is considering adopting a rule that may not require parental consent for a child to be released from class to obtain medical services that a minor has the right to receive confidentially, nor may it notify a parent that a child has been released for that purpose.  Board Policy 5113 covering absences has been adopted in many school districts in California that includes such absences without parental notification or permission.

Confidential Medical Services include: .

     Anything dealing with contraception, abortion, drug counseling, suicide counseling,  substance abuse.
