Notification Regarding Child Custody

As per State and Federal Law (MCL 722.30 & FERPA), please be advised, Huron Valley Schools recognizes the equal rights of parents and guardians as indicated on a certified birth certificate or legal court order.

In cases where parents/guardians are legally separated, divorced and/or those parents who simply have ongoing custody issues between them, the parental rights of both parties will be equally recognized by your child’s school, unless and until a parent/guardian has a legal court order that specifically restricts or denies the non-custodial parent’s access to the child at school, the child’s school records, or other protective order.

To accommodate a custodial parent’s request to deny non-custodial parent’s rights to access or information on a child, the school must have a copy of the most recent court order on file that indicates one parent’s access and information rights are inhibited. Otherwise either parent with proper identification, may have access to the child at school, request and receive information and be included in the child’s educational process.
