Subject: Michigan Sample Letter for Requesting Exemption from Animal Dissection in School — Medical Reasons Dear [School Administrator/Teacher's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about my current medical situation, which unfortunately prohibits me from participating in the animal dissection activity required as part of the curriculum. Given the circumstances, I kindly request an exemption from this particular requirement. I understand the importance of hands-on learning experiences and value the educational opportunities provided by the dissection activity. However, due to my specific medical condition [provide relevant details], participating in this activity poses potential health risks and is not advisable for me. As per the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, students with medical conditions that might be exacerbated by animal dissection must be given reasonable accommodation. This accommodation may include alternative assignments, virtual simulations, or alternative forms of hands-on learning experiences that align with the curriculum's objectives. To ensure that I can demonstrate my knowledge and understanding of the subject without directly participating in animal dissection, I propose the following alternatives: 1. Virtual Dissection Software: There are various digital resources available that offer highly realistic virtual dissection simulations. Implementing these programs would provide me with the opportunity to learn the subject in a manner that doesn't compromise my health condition. 2. Alternative Research Assignments: Another suitable approach would involve assigning me research-based projects or reports focusing on the anatomy, physiology, and biology of the animal being dissected. This would enable me to engage with the content and fulfill the learning objectives while adhering to my medical limitations. I am open to discussing alternative solutions that align with both my educational needs and my medical situation. I understand that accommodating individual student needs can be challenging, but I believe that with your guidance and cooperation, we can find a suitable arrangement that ensures both my safety and educational progress. Furthermore, I kindly request a prompt response to my request, as I understand that necessary arrangements need to be made to accommodate my unique circumstances. If any additional documentation or medical information is required to support my request, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter. I appreciate your assistance in ensuring equal educational opportunities for all students. I remain committed to maintaining my academic performance and contributing positively to the classroom environment. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Student ID/Grade] [Contact Information]
