PLEASE NOTE: The district’s attendance policy states in part: Ten (10) total absences in a class during one semester are deemed excessive and may result in a loss of credit for that student. Instances of school business absence will not figure into the total number of absences. Instances of chronic and other doctor-verified illnesses will be handled on a case-by-case basis and will normally not be counted in the total absences; written and signed documentation must be submitted to the school in those instances. All other absences, including absences due to suspension, will be included in the total absence count which could lead to a student losing credit. In addition, Board Policy requires each school to report truancy to the appropriate authorities. State law requires all students to attend school from ages six (6) to eighteen (18). Parents of truant students may be brought into court and issued fines for truancy of their children through Wayne County.
