Summary:
|
|
The Policy was updated to include parents/guardians and school staff in collaborative efforts to develop strategies to support student attendance. Additionally, the policy updated to reflect NEW LAW (SB 153, 2024) which enables the district to implement attendance recovery programs to make up lost instructional time and offset absences, and that any attendance recovery program be provided as a voluntary, limited-term option for a classroom-based, regular education program for students in grades Transitional Kindergarten-12.
In addition, the policy was updated to expand the strategies to support students at risk of dropping out of school to include attendance recovery programs; and expanded school and/or community support services such as a school nurse, school social worker, school counselor, school psychologist, or other student support personnel for case management and counseling; tracking student attendance and identifying students with attendance problems as early as possible so the school may provide appropriate support services and interventions; creating small, personalized learning communities to facilitate monitoring and support; or offering courses or programs that connect schoolwork with college and career success, including career technical education.
The policy was also updated to reflect the 2024-25 Federal Program Monitoring Instrument which requires that documentation be maintained for students who transfer from or otherwise withdraw from a school in the district. |
