§ 51131 Parent Definition In Education

• •A 'parent' in school rules can be your real mom or dad, adoptive parents, or foster parents.
• •It can also be someone like a grandparent or guardian who takes care of you and makes school decisions for you.
• •Even a surrogate parent (someone officially chosen to act as a parent) counts as a 'parent' in school rules.

Your grandma takes you to school and talks to your teachers about your classes.

Under this rule, your grandma is considered your 'parent' because she acts on behalf of your parents and makes decisions about your education.
