[quote=Anonymous]This happened to me when my kids were in DCPS. I had to meet with the social worker, after having several phone conversations. They will meet with you and "counsel" you on the importance of attendance and learning and you will say ok and go home. The principal has the ability to determine if an absence is excused or not, illness and death in the family were excused, family trips for what ever purpose were not b/c principal didn't think it was "fair" to kids who didn't have the same opportunities. Social worker told me, going forward to take the trip, and just report it as an illness, do not report it in advance that we needed to go out of town for whatever reason. I questioned her on the teaching my kids to lie aspect of it and she just kind of shrugged her shoulders. [/quote]
