[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools wont crack down because most consequential options would damage graduation rates which are part of the Maryland school report card. Unfortunately in education, once something becomes part of the school assessment it basically ceases to be an important learning metric. It immediately gets manipulated.[/quote] That’s why MCPS has responded by unenrolling the chronically absent kids. It gets them off their rolls and preserves graduation rates.[/quote] No. It was required by the state. Schools get more money from the state by having students on the books. Students are supposed to be unenrolled after 10 days of absence. But if one teacher or substitute makes them present for a period, the ten day requirement resets. So, from a practical standpoint very few have been unenrolled this way.[/quote]
