[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The children described in these articles are older children. Are the rules different for PK3 and PK4 kids who have not yet reached the age at which school is mandatory? [/quote] I've taken my PK kid out numerous times for vacation - no one cares at our DCPS.[/quote] My 3yo missed a week of school to travel to a family wedding, and even though we notified them in advance, we were contacted by the school social worker.[/quote] I SO don't get this -- 3 & 4 year olds are not in mandatory schooling. If DCPS wants to tie maintaining enrollment with child's attendance that's one thing (ie kick out PK kids with too many unexcused absences). But where on earth do they assume the authority to go beyond that?[/quote]
