Parents urge Calallen ISD to consider attendance policy after students risk missing graduation
Summary
During public comment two community members urged the board to reconsider how absences affect students' eligibility to walk at graduation, saying current application of the attendance policy may prevent some seniors from participating in commencement.
During the 'Comments from the Public' portion of the meeting, Kerri Schneider and Kim Taylor spoke about student absences and the impact on seniors' ability to walk the stage at graduation. Both speakers requested that the board consider how the district’s attendance policies are applied so that eligible students are not prevented from participating in commencement ceremonies.
The comments were heard early in the meeting during the general public‑comment period; the transcript does not record an immediate board response or a motion to change policy. The board proceeded with its scheduled agenda items after the public comments were made.
