All dissection of animals shall be confined to the classroom and must comply with the School Code. Students who object to performing, participating in, or observing the dissection of animals are excused from classroom attendance without penalty during times when such activities are taking place.4 No student will be penalized or disciplined for refusing to perform, participate in, or observe a dissection. The Superintendent or designee shall inform students of: (1) their right to refrain from performing, participating in, or observing dissection, and (2) which courses contain a dissection unit and which of those courses offers an alternative project.5 LEGAL REF.: 105 ILCS 5/ , 5/27-14, and 112/.
