The Hempstead Union Free School District Board of Education voted to rescind three older attendance-related policies (71.22; 71.22.1; 71.22.2) and adopted a set of updated policies addressing comprehensive attendance, age of entrance, screening for school entrance, noncustodial parent access, and a series of special-education policies.
