[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids were also all tagged with chronic absenteeism. They count it as a day absent if you miss any periods. So that’s 6 orthodontic appointments plus 1 regular doctors appointment plus 2 dental appointments plus one week out with Covid plus one week out with stomach virus plus a couple more days out with minor cold or headaches, plus a few that were subs that failed to properly take attendance . It was pretty easy to get to 18 days in a year. I just think the whole exercise is meaningless because of how they count absences. They should have one category for excused absences. Then a different category of kids that are chronically out with excused illness, which should probably be a higher trigger and not include partial day absences (eg doctors appointment during gym period ). [/quote] What difference does it make? If a kid is absent, for whatever reason, they aren't in school learning. [/quote]
