California Education Code does not provide broad exemptions for students to be excused from class attendance or specific curriculum; however, the District recognizes that some instructional content may substantially interfere with specific religious belief(s), custom(s), and/or practice(s). The District has an already established opt-out request process for comprehensive sexual health education and HIV/AIDS and STDs for students in grades 7-8 which is initiated prior to any such study. This separate form is for grades TK-8 based on the parameters of the Supreme Court Case: Mahmoud v. Taylor to address additional requests for religious exemptions from specific instructional materials in a consistent and respectful manner.
