Married, pregnant and parenting students will be the focus of a Ketchikan School Board hearing Wednesday.
The Association of Alaska School Boards is proposing a policy that prevents the district from denying those students participation in class or extracurricular activities.
If a doctor requires a student to be absent due to pregnancy, childbirth or abortion, the school would have to allow the absence and reinstate her to her previous status upon return.
The instructional program for affected students would be determined on a case-by-case basis.
