[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, you don't want to pay $100 to sit in a waiting room with a bunch of even sicker people for 4 hours? Where is your sense of adventure?[/quote]

Urgent care is like $20-$25 with most insurance. And if you make an appointment,  you won’t wait 4 hours. [/quote]

DP. That it costs $25 and might be faster is there is still no reason to be there, except MCPS’s excessively fastidious administrative BS. That’s a fairly terrible basis for any additional use pressure on the health care system we have going in this country rn.[/quote]

I thought the email said it was a STATE law in which case your argument is with MD not MCPS.[/quote]

As we are all aware, the state is not in the school enforcing this law. MCPS has choices about how rigidly it does this.[/quote]

Yes. This is really about whether the extended absences are marked in the system as excused (doctor's note) or unexcused (no doctor's note).[/quote]

We used to worry about unexcused absences but then realized...it was not worth the time to correct things with the office.  My kids attended two different MCPS HSs.  Neither had accurate attendance.  Some semesters we were really surprised at the numbers of on the report card but it never seemed to matter.[/quote]

Just be careful not to allow too many to rack up to the point that your child is deemed chronically absent. That means 18 days in the school year. [/quote]
