Schools that receive federal funds must not discriminate against students on the basis of sex, including a student’s pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination, or recovery therefrom. Schools must provide equal access to school programs and extracurricular activities to students who might be, are, or have been pregnant.

Schools are required to treat pregnant and parenting students the same way they treat other students who are similarly able or unable to participate in school activities.
