Plainville Community School District

Married students shall have the same educational opportunities in this school system as unmarried students.

Further, the responsibility of the board of education for the education of all school-age children includes the pregnant student, married or unmarried. These students shall be allowed to remain in school and support services shall be made a part of the school program. Any variation from their continuing in regular school classes shall be based upon their assessed needs. A pregnant student may remain in her regular school program as long as her physical and emotional condition permits. Homebound and hospitalized instruction shall be provided only when the Planning and Placement Team finds that a physician has certified that such instruction is in the best interest of the student and should continue for specified period of time.
