Attendance / Tardy Data & Policy Updates
Ms. Bracok shared that starting in January, she will be heavily involved in attendance moving forward. She has been researching current legislation in relation to our current processes and policies.
The committee discussed our current truancy policy. They also discussed options for how to make up seat time and potential funding to support that.
Ms. Bracok also shared some incentives that are being discussed to encourage attendance.
We need to review our 3 tardies = an absence policy. Confirm that it matches current legal opinion. The time period of the tardy that equates to an absence should be clarified.
