[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the advice here, the situation is just a bit frustrating as me brought DD overseas in part because it would be deeply educational, we ensured she kept up on her classes work, and in any case she is testing well above grade level so missing 10 days of formal school should not be a major concern of anyone. She is only six! Now I am worried that family services of something will start investigating us![/quote] They could but it is unlikely. The policy is clear OP - even if there is parental approval (your educational trip)you can't miss more than 10 days unless it is for one of the specified reasons. My hunch is you will be able to write letters / get doctors notes for the days she was sick which will get you back under 10 total days. Teachers cannot approve absences - it would have been helpful if she'd told you that but it isn't her job. This policy is in every student handbook I've seen in the city. [/quote]
