[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'll be surprised how many kids will be there that final week.  Last year at my middle school, the county authorized 8th graders to have excused absences following 8th grade promotion ceremony which was a full TEN days before the last day of school.  We still had like 70% of 8th graders show up those final 10 days for social and economic reasons.

Most of these schools will not be ghost towns like you think they will be.[/quote]

That was not the case at our elementary school.  People said it was a joke and would not send their kids again.  I’d estimate under 50 percent attendance.[/quote]

Obviously schools in higher FARMS regions will see much higher attendance than other schools based on those essential services that schools provide children with.  We're a very large and diverse school systems and obviously nobody will ever fully have their needs met but the right thing to do is try to accommodate the children who really depend on these services.  I like to believe everyone would agree that supporting children should be a top priority.[/quote]
