Each year, school attendance teams will develop the School鈥檚 Attendance Plan, which will identify specific interventions
or strategies to be implemented at each tier of intervention. The School鈥檚 Attendance Plan will guide the school鈥檚
chronic absenteeism strategy and may be revised as needed based on emerging needs identified through data and/or
stakeholder input.
Sanctions for Students that have Met or Exceeded Chronic Absenteeism Thresholds
Elementary:
The principal will convene a meeting with the student鈥檚 teacher, parent, and school counselor up to 30 days prior to the
end of the academic year once the student has met or exceeded the end-of-year threshold for chronic absenteeism (17
days). At the conclusion of the meeting, the parent will be notified in writing whether the student will be promoted,
retained, or required to attend summer school.
