Alternate Education Programs

A pregnant student has the right to stay in her regular public school.

A public school may not force a student to participate in special programs for pregnant or parenting students. A student cannot be forced to attend an alternative school just because she is pregnant or a parent. If a student chooses to go to an alternative school or join a special program for pregnant and parenting students, her education in the special program must be of the same quality as the education she would receive in her regular school.

If you are pregnant and your school is trying to force you to attend an alternate education program, you can call the Jane's Due Process legal hotline at 1-866-www-jane or 1-866-999-5263 for assistance.
