78A-6-320. Proceedings arising from failure to attend public school.
(1) When a proceeding arises from a child's failure to attend public school based upon
the assertion of a constitutional or statutory right or duty, raised either by the child or by the
child's custodial parent, guardian, or custodian, the court shall hear the petition and resolve the
issues associated with the asserted constitutional or statutory claims within 15 days after the
petition is filed. The parties may waive the time limitation described in this subsection.
(2) Absent an emergency situation or other exigent circumstances, the court may not
enter any order changing the educational status of the child that existed at the time the petition
was filed, until the hearing described in Subsection (1) is concluded.
(3) Parties proceeding under this section shall, insofar as it is possible, provide the court
with factual stipulations and make all other efforts that are reasonably available to minimize the
time required to hear the claims described in Subsection (1).
