RS 17:175
§175. Course registration in any public secondary school; course registration information; school boards; parents
A. Prior to the course registration each year of each student in any public middle school, junior high school, or high school, the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of each student shall acknowledge awareness of the courses his child is registering to enter by signing his name on the course registration form or otherwise notifying the principal or his designee. After the principal or his designee makes certain that the parent, guardian, or legal custodian is aware of the courses his child is registering to enter, he shall accept the course registration and shall make a notation on the form that he has ascertained that the parent, guardian, or legal custodian is aware of such courses.
B. No student shall be permitted to register until the student's course registration form has been completed as provided in Subsection A of this Section.
C.(1) Every public middle school, junior high school, or high school shall provide every parent, guardian, or legal custodian of every student who wishes to register with information about:
(a)The courses being offered and the content of each;
(b)The high school graduation requirements, where appropriate; and
(c)Any other information which may be helpful to the parent, guardian, or legal custodian in assisting his child in making informed decisions about the child's coursework.
(d)The relationship of the course content of each course which meets a high school graduation requirement to the requirements for admission to each public college or university in Louisiana as they exist at the time the student is registering.
(2)Every such school shall also make personal consultation on such matters available to every parent, guardian, or legal custodian and provide notice of the availability of consultation at the time that course information is provided.
D. Every course registration form for registering a student for public middle school, junior high school, or high school shall contain, in addition to a place for the signature, notice of the basic requirements of this Section, including a statement that the signature of the parent, guardian, or legal custodian constitutes acknowledgment of the contents of the course registration form.
E. Every public middle school, junior high school, or high school shall fully advise every parent, guardian, or legal custodian of any student who wishes to pursue any functional or applied format course in science or mathematics as provided in R.S. 17:7(12) which may not qualify him for entrance into a Louisiana public college or university which has specific mathematics or science course requirements for admission, and shall require written consent from the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of such student.
