Background:
|
The Administration recommends a revision to Administrative Policy 8.13: Student Attendance/Absences/Tardies, to update the period attendance calculation and reasons for legally excused absences. The policy also clarifies the circumstances for which a student should be excused during inclement weather. The new Administrative Procedure 8.13 outlines the steps that schools will employ when addressing legally excused absences and tardies.
The revisions to Administrative Policy and Procedure 8.14: Truancy create clarity by transferring the general guidelines currently in the procedure to the policy. Subsequently, removing the procedures in the policy and aligning them in administrative procedure. |
