District attendance guideline C175-R1 emphasizes reporting steps and truancy consequences under Senate Bill 282
Summary
Packet reproduces attendance guideline C175-R1 setting a 10-absence threshold per class, reporting requirements, physician documentation rules, and escalating interventions (attendance plans, referrals at 10 and 15 absences) with references to Senate Bill 282 and state codes.
The district’s attendance guideline C175-R1 (included in the Sept. 8 packet) restates the requirement that students may incur no more than 10 absences per class (K–12 rules summarized) and outlines acceptable and unacceptable reasons for absences. Parents must report absences by 9:00 a.m. and produce documentation within 24–72 hours depending on the category.
The guideline outlines progressive interventions: a notice at five unexcused absences, a required conference and attendance plan following the fifth unexcused absence, and a formal affidavit submission to the prosecutor’s office under Senate Bill 282 beginning at the 10th unexcused absence; at 15 absences the packet says schools will notify juvenile services, probation or the Department of Child Services as appropriate. The packet provides an administrator-approved excused-absence request form (C175-E2) for parents to seek pre-approved excusals.
