The official document
What the district published
This is the source material — exactly as released by RUSD. The plain English translation below is this site's version, written for community members who shouldn't need to know all the lingo to understand what they're legally entitled to as taxpayers, and how to access it.
The original isn't embedded here yet.
The district publishes through its board portal, which often points to a whole policy folder or meeting agenda rather than this one document. Rather than send you digging, I'll add the exact source the moment I can link it directly. The plain-English summary below is drawn faithfully from that original.

In plain English
What this document actually says
This policy, last reviewed December 14, 2004, outlines when students can be excluded from attending Reed Union schools. Students may be excluded if they're under legal attendance age, lack required immunizations (unless parent requests religious/medical exemption in writing), have active tuberculosis, live where quarantined diseases exist, haven't completed first-grade health screenings within 90 days, or have "filthy or vicious habits" or contagious diseases. Before exclusion, parents must receive written notice explaining the reasons and their right to meet with the Board to challenge the decision, inspect documents, question witnesses, and present evidence. Notice isn't required in emergencies or quarantine situations, but must be sent afterward. The Board must periodically review exclusion decisions.
What this means for your family
Your child can be excluded from school for health and immunization reasons. You have the right to written notice before exclusion (except emergencies), can request religious or medical exemptions from immunizations, and can challenge exclusion decisions before the Board. Ensure your child has required immunizations and first-grade health screenings completed within 90 days of enrollment to avoid up to five days of exclusion.
