| Abstract | School policy on teenage pregnancy must take into account a variety legal considerations. Up until recently, the favored way of dealing with pregnant pupils or pupils who are mothers was to exclude them from school. Several law cases involving instances of exclusion and segregation of pregnant pupils are cited. The 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection is described as well as four cases involving teenage pregnancy and education. Title IX to the Education Amendments is discussed with relation to unlawful discrimination. The statute prohibits sex discrimination in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Several state laws are discussed: compulsory attendance (South Carolina), expulsion (Michigan), public accommodation (Colorado), and sex discrimination (Alaska). Finally, extracurricular activities and policy issues are focused upon with regard to segregating and excluding pregnant girls and mothers. (SI) |
