| Legal Names of Students |
Where the parents, legal guardian, or an outside agency seek to enroll a student in a public school under a name other than the legal name or seek to change the name of the student already enrolled, the parent shall be informed that the name of the child as shown on the birth certificate, or other supporting evidence as provided by law, will be used on the official school records until such time as a final court order verifying a legal name change is received by the School District.
Where a student's name is changed legally all official school records shall be updated to include only the acquired legal name.
