Custodial and Noncustodial Parental Rights

It is the policy of the Oologah-Talala Board of Education that a parent who is awarded legal custody of a child by court action shall file a copy of the court decree awarding such custody with the school.

All staff members are instructed to refer any questions to the appropriate building principal or the superintendent.

Absent a court decree to the contrary, both natural parents have the right to view the student's school records; to receive school progress reports; to visit the child briefly at school; and to participate in parent and teacher conferences (not necessarily together in the same conference).
