Summary:
|
Policy updated to designate the attendance supervisor as the person responsible for performing various assignments related to absence and truancy; reflect a tiered approach for reducing chronic absence which includes universal strategies and letters to parents/guardians; expand material regarding early intervention; add the provision of training and information to staff for the implementation of a trauma-informed approach to chronic absence; reflect chronic absence as a measure of district and school performance on the California School Dashboard; and add grade level to the list of specific data to be provided to the board regarding attendance, absence, and truancy.
Regulation updated to reflect law allowing the referral of a chronic absentee (rather than a student who is "irregular in attendance") to a school attendance review board (SARB), a truancy mediation, or a comparable program and requiring documentation of the interventions undertaken at the school when making such a referral. Regulation also revised to give students who are absent the opportunity to make up missed work for full credit and support to limit the impact of absences on grades. |
