PARENT INVOLVEMENT
The Board of Education believes that durable and significant learning by
a student is more likely to occur when there is an effective partnership
between the school and the student’s parents/guardians ("parents").
Such a partnership means a mutual belief in and commitment to
significant educational goals for a student, a plan for the means to
accomplish those goals, cooperation on developing and implementing
solutions
to
problems that may be encountered, and continuing
communication regarding the progress in accomplishing the goal(s).
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
The Americans with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) and Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act provide that no individual will be discriminated
against on the basis of a disability. This protection applies not just to the
student, but to all individuals who have access to the District’s programs
and facilities.
LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
Limited proficiency in the English language should not be a barrier to
equal participation in the instructional or extra-curricular programs of
the District. It is, therefore, the policy of this District that those students
identified
as
having
limited
English
proficiency will be provided
additional support and instruction to assist them in gaining English
proficiency
and
in
accessing
the
educational and extra-curricular
program offered by the District. Parents should contact the director of
Special
Education
at
(734)783-3322
to
inquire
about
evaluation
procedures and programs offered by the District.
STUDENT RECORDS
The School District maintains many student records including both
directory information and confidential information.
Directory information includes, but is not limited to: the student's name;
the name of the student's parent or other family members; the address
of the student or student's family; a personal identifier, such as the
student's social security number, student number, or biometric record;
other indirect identifiers, such as the student's date of birth, place of
birth, and mother's maiden name; other information that, alone or in
combination, is linked or linkable to a specific student that would allow a
reasonable person in the school community, who does not have
personal knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to identify the
student with reasonable certainty; or information requested by a person
who the District reasonably believes knows the identity of the student to
whom the education record relates.
