Pursuant to Act 1759 of 2003, all school districts are required to mail to every parent a letter notifying them of the district's obligation to offer certain classes and a list of those classes required to be taught by the school district under the STANDARDS FOR ACCREDITATION.

If classes may be offered every other year, that shall be indicated in some manner, as well as the year the classes will be offered. If a district offers courses in cooperation with other districts, distance learning, or other institutions, this information must also be provided.

For the 2003-2004 school year, Act 1759 of 2003 required this letter to be mailed to parents prior to the first day of school. For all subsequent school years the letter shall be mailed to parents 20 days prior to the date students are required to register for classes in grades 9-12.
