Attendance
School board policy and state law requires that students attend school more than 90% of the days it’s in session. Absences include days and parts of days (anything more than one hour). Students who miss school in excess of 10% of the time may be retained on that basis. Their learning is likely to have gaps due to their lack of participation in class. They often exhibit more problems with behavior because they have missed instruction and routines and are lost or overwhelmed.
