This sample policy is intended to be used by CSI schools in drafting their own Attendance Policies. While the sample language provides a helpful starting point, each school’s policy may be tailored to its own practices and preferences within the confines of the requirements outlined in statute and State Board Rule. This document may not be inclusive of everything a school could have in its policy, and schools are encouraged to have all policies reviewed by legal counsel and by CSI prior to adoption.\nCompulsory Attendance\nCompulsory school attendance laws apply to all students age 6 (on or before August 1 of each year) through 17.\nStudent Absences and Excuses\nThe importance of regular, daily attendance as a basis for academic achievement cannot be overemphasized. Absences have a negative effect upon instructional continuity, regardless of attempts to make up the work. The school believes duplication of the classroom experience can never be accomplished with make-up assignments. The school cannot teach students who are not present. The regular contact of students with one another in the classroom and their participation in a well-planned instructional activity under the tutelage of a competent teacher are vital to this purpose.\u0005\nAccording to state law, it is the obligation of every parent/guardian to ensure that every child under their care and supervision receives adequate education and training and, if of compulsory attendance age, attends school. The school establishes a school attendance period by adopting a school calendar and establishes requirements for student attendance through adoption of this policy. If different than the brick-and-mortar calendar, Aa separate school calendar, and attendance requirements, shall be set for students participating in online instruction.\u0005\nExcused Absences\nThe following shall be considered excused absences:\nA student who is temporarily ill or injured or whose absence is approved by the school administration on a prearranged basis. Prearranged absences shall be approved for appointments or circumstances of a serious nature only, which cannot be taken care of outside of school hours.\u0005\nA student who is absent due to physical disability, or a mental or behavioral health disorder.\nA student who is temporarily absent due to behavioral health concerns.\nA student who is suspended or expelled.\nA student to whom a current age and school certificate or work permit has been issued pursuant to the Colorado Youth Employment Opportunity Act of 1971.\nA student who is in the custody of a court or law enforcement authorities.\nA student who is pursuing a work-study program under the supervision of a public school.\u0005\nA student who is excused from school for a therapy, medical, legal or victim services appointment related to harassment or discrimination, as described in C.R.S. 22-1-143(2)(f), or for behavioral or mental health concerns related to harassment or discrimination.\nA student in out-of-home placement (as that term is defined by C.R.S. 22-32-138 (1)(h)), absent due to court appearances and participation in court-ordered activities so long as the student´s assigned social worker verifies the student´s absence was for a court appearance or court-ordered activity.\nSchool administration may recognize additional absences, such as a funeral, legal obligations, medical procedures, religious obligations or extenuating circumstances as excused as identified in the Student and Family Handbook. The school may require suitable proof for excused absences, including written statements from medical sources.\nUnexcused Absences\nUnexcused absences occur when a student is absent from school without a valid and verifiable excuse by the parent/guardian that is consistent with this policy, or when a student leaves school or class without permission of authorized school staff. Each unexcused absence will be entered on the stud","cbCaibdWeDIkmL3Y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibdWeDIkmL3Y","docx",50011,"English","# Compulsory Attendance\n# Student Absences and Excuses\n## Excused Absences\n## Unexcused Absences\n# Makeup Work\n# Tardiness\n# Truancy","[{\"question\":\"What ages fall under compulsory attendance requirements?\",\"answer\":\"Compulsory school attendance laws apply to students age 6 (on or before August 1 each year) through 17.\"},{\"question\":\"Which absences are considered excused?\",\"answer\":\"Excused absences include temporary illness or injury approved by administration, physical disability, mental or behavioral health disorders, suspension or expulsion, certain certificates or work permits under relevant law, court custody, supervised work-study, and specified therapy/medical/legal/victim services or harassment/discrimination-related appointments.
