[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But don’t worry....the lowered standards now exclude attendance.  That’s right you can attend a selective school even if you don’t attend school!

UMM DCPS has a attendance policy and if you miss too many days a school can boot you back to your IB.  IB can't do too much other than call CPS.[/quote]

Not anymore: "No student will be transferred from their school for absenteeism, including students who are attending an out of boundary school." Page 6. https://dcps.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dcps/page_content/attachments/FINAL%20DCPS%20Attendance%20and%20Truancy%20Policy%2008-21-18.pdf [/quote]

Those things aren’t what the first PP was referring to. A student’s attendance record can’t be a factor used to determine whether a student can apply to a selective high school. FWIW when that was used by one of at least one of the high schools, excused and unexcused absences, were countered. A kid who dealt with a serious illness but was otherwise a good student considered was out of luck. [/quote]
