Here is a little bit more from the article:

Current school district policy, in effect for more than 20 years, provides “under no condition is a student to leave the school grounds before dismissal without the approval of his/her parent or guardian and the principal or the principal’s specifically designated representative.”

That policy, says the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties is “antiquated and dangerous” and “in direct conflict with California’s medical emancipation statutes, which permit a minor to obtain reproductive health care without parental notice or consent.”

A draft of the proposed new policy indicates school lawyers are willing to incorporate the “medical emancipation” provisions of state law, but with a broad exception in cases in which school officials believe a student’s pregnancy or plans for an abortion present “a clear and present danger to the health, safety or welfare of the student.” In such cases, school counselors, nurses or administrators would be permitted to inform parents.

So let me get this straight… the jist of this is that students should be allowed to leave school without the parents permission to have an abortion? Ohhh I would so fight that!!! First as a parent, I would kick butt if the school let my dd leave without my permission… I send her there to learn not schedule her appointments behind my back… Second, if something happened to my dd while going to said appointment, I would have to hold the school responsible for her welfare since I used due diligence to see that she arrived there that day…

What can we see happening next? Girls making appointments at PP to get out of tests and classes… ummm sooo NOOOOO!!!
