Chronic absenteeism is defined as students who are absent 10% or more and are enrolled in the District at least 90 school days. For example, two missed schools days out of a month may be considered 10%. A student is considered absent if they are not physically participating in instruction or instruction-related activities. This includes students who are absent regardless of whether absences are excused or unlawful; including out-of-school suspensions. A student missing 50% or more of a school day (excused, unlawful, OSS) will result in a full day absence.

Parent/guardian is required to turn in a written excuse indicating the date(s) and reason ក្នុងរយៈពេលបីថ្ងៃ of an absence to the ParentVue app, a handwritten note, or designated school attendance email address. A maximum of 10 parent/guardian excused days shall be permitted during a school year. Excused absences include but not limited to, illness, recovery from accident, observance of a religious holiday, participation in a project sponsored by a statewide or countywide, college visit (not to exceed 3 days), family emergency, non-school sponsored trips/family trips, court/legal appointments, and death in the family. After the accumulation of 10 Parent Excused days, further absences require an excuse from a legal or medical provider.

Absences will be treated as unlawful until the school receives a written excuse explaining an acceptable absence, to be submitted within three days of the absence. If an unacceptable absence is received, the absence will remain as unlawful.

Tardy to School and Early Dismissal: Students who arrive late to school and/or leave early will be coded as unlawful unless the absence has a written legal or medical excuse from a licensed medical provider.

The attendance law requires children to attend a public or state-accredited private school. This period is a child’s life from the time the child’s parent/guardian elect to have the child enter school, which will be no later than 6 years of age, until the child is 18 years of age.

A child is truant when they have three or more unlawful absences in one school year. The person in parental relation will receive a letter within 10 school days of the student’s third unlawful absence.

A child is habitually truant when they have six or more unlawful absences in one school year. The person in parental relation will receive a letter with the scheduled attendance improvement conference to support and improve regular school attendance.

Students are expected to attend all classes per their schedule. A class cut is when a student is not present during the entire period without adult permission. Failure to attend classes may result in disciplinary action, including but not limited detention to make up for the time missed.

The purpose of the School Attendance Improvement Conference (AIC) is to examine the student’s absences and reasons for the absences in an effort to improve attendance with or without additional services. The following individuals are invited to the conference: the student, the student’s parent/guardian, other individuals identified by the parent/guardian who may be a resource, appropriate school personnel, and recommended service providers.

When a student under 15 years of age is habitually truant, the District will refer the student to a school-based or community-based attendance improvement program or the local children and youth agency. If attendance does not improve, a citation may be filed against the person in parental relation who resides in the same household as the student.

When a student 15 to17 years of age is habitually truant, District staff shall refer the student to a school or community based attendance improvement program, the local children and youth agency, or file a citation against the student or the person in parental relation who resides in the same household as the student.

If attendance does not improve or a student refuses to participate, a citation may be filed against the student or person in parental relation who resides in the same household as the student.

The outcome of the School Attendance Improvement Conference shall be documented in a written School Attendance Improvement Plan. The plan shall be retained in the student’s file. A copy of the plan shall be provided to the parent/ guardian, the student, and appropriate District personnel.

If a truant or habitually truant student may qualify as a student with a disability, and require special education services or accommodations, the Coordinator of Special Education or designee shall be notified and shall take action to address the student’s needs in accordance with the applicable law, regulations, and Board policy.
