The rule shall provide that any student who fails to provide the notification by the required date may not participate in the program during the following school year without the written consent of the district superintendent, the governing authority of a community school, the STEM school chief administrative officer, or the nonpublic school administrator.

(C) Requirements that school districts, community schools, and STEM schools provide counseling services to students in grades eight through eleven and to their parents before the students participate in the program under this chapter to ensure that students and parents are fully aware of the possible risks and consequences of participation.

(9) The academic and social responsibilities of students and parents under the program;
