Summary:
|
Policy updated to provide information about available tools for tracking attendance, add school health services as a strategy for preventing attendance problems, expand list of agencies and individuals with whom the district might collaborate to identify and address problems, reflect legislative intent to use alternatives to suspension or expulsion with truants, and update representatives on the school attendance review board to reflect current law.
Also, Policy updated to reflect the inclusion of chronic absenteeism as a measure of student engagement in the LCAP and NEW TITLE 5 REGULATIONS (Register 2015, No. 2) which establish a formula for calculating the chronic absenteeism rate for this purpose. Policy also revised to reflect NEW LAW (AB 1643, 2014) which adds other optional representatives to the school attendance review board. Policy updated to reflect the inclusion of a chronic absence indicator in the California School Dashboard effective in the fall of 2018, add examples of interventions for attendance problems, and delete section on "School Attendance Review Board" since that material is now covered in BP/AR 5113.12 - District School Attendance Review Board.
MANDATED regulation updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 2616) which defines “valid excuse” for purposes of identifying truants and revises the interventions to be implemented at various stages of truancy. Also regulation updated to delete references to 5 CCR 15497.5 (repealed), which formerly contained the LCAP template that is now available on the CDE web site, and to delete section on the appointment and general duties of attendance supervisors, now covered in AR 5113.11 - Attendance Supervision.
