[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS Policy Re unexcused absences

[quote]If the student has five or more absences, and the school team
determines that the student has not shown improvement in
attendance in response to interventions set forth in the AIP, [b]the
student will receive a failing grade in that course[/b][/quote]

That was the rule pre-pandemic. MCPS has yet to reinstitute this policy post-pandemic.[/quote]

That's still the rule. Can you show me when it was revoked?  Kids that don't want to learn shouldn't be forced to stay in school.[/quote]

MCPS relaxed enforced post-pandemic in the name of being flexible for kids still getting used to life post-pandemic: https://thewarrioronline.com/2022/01/20/mcps-has-eased-attendance-policy-for-students/[/quote]

Sorry, I assumed it was an MCPS wide thing, but as always seems to be the case, schools took different postures when it came to enforcing pre-pandemic E3 policies. The[b] schools with higher black and brown student populations in MCPS, like Kennedy, have been slower to return to the E3 standard[/b], while whiter schools like Whitman, are back to that standard this school year: https://www.thesentinel.com/communities/administrators-visit-math-classes-to-discuss-new-school-policies-expectations/article_d9edfc4c-306b-11ed-a8e4-cf786c66734d.html

[QUOTE]School officials also announced that Whitman is also returning to pre-pandemic attendance standards that put students at risk of losing course credit after five unexcused absences, and equates three unexcused tardies with one unexcused absence. As part of these renewed enforcement efforts, Dodd and McAleese informed students that all entrances other than the school’s main office doors will close at 7:40 a.m. to ensure students arrive to class earlier and check in at the front office if they are late to school. [/QUOTE]

Why MCPS allows this kind of inconsistency, I do not know.[/quote]
I didn't realize that BCC  had a higher black-brown population.[/quote]
