[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid is considered chronically absent if they miss 15 days of school— excused and unexcused absences count towards the 15 days.  The percentage of chronically absent students plays into school accreditation. That’s the real reason why FCPS cares. [/quote]

It's 18 days or 10% of the school year. That's only two days per month.[/quote]
Only?![/quote]

In my case it was a full week of diarrhea, vomiting and malaise. So that’s 5 days and that happened twice. Then a couple other days including strep throat and pink eye.

Maybe they need to be disinfecting the schools? My daycare kids aren’t sick as much. [/quote]

Your daycare probably doesn't have 500-1000 kids touching the same surfaces repeatedly throughout the day.

Your daycare probably doesn't have a minimum of 50-100 kids per day who are sneezing and coughing and whose parents never taught them to cover their mouths.

Your daycare probably doesn't have 200+ kids use the bathroom, not wash their hands, and then touch surfaces or shared supplies.[/quote]
