Revisions were made to Regulation 724-1- Attendance, Absences, Excuses, and Tardies effective for the 2025-2026 school year
Key updates include:
· Schools may require a doctor’s note when a student misses three consecutive days or a total of 10 days during the school year due to illness.
· Family trips or absences related to travel are unexcused absences.
· Students are considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more school days in a school year. Both excused and unexcused absences count towards chronic absenteeism.
· Military-connected students may have up to five days of excused absences to visit a parent/guardian called to active duty or on leave from active duty.
