The Board considers regular school attendance essential for educational success. Students in ESD programs are expected to attend school as required by law and by Board policy.
The building administrator where the program resides will be responsible for assessing and acting upon parental requests for students to be excused from ESD classrooms.
The program supervisor has the authority to excuse students for reasons permitted by law including absences due to illness, educational/occupational interviews, bereavement or serious illness in the family, inclement weather, religious instruction or emergencies. Physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, dentists and similar professionals may request permission for students’ excused absences. For ESD programs, student’s attendance will be reported to the component school.
Students may be excused on a limited basis from a particular preplanned classroom activity or from selected portions of the established curriculum on the basis of religious or disability considerations.
ESD staff working in component school districts, their students and parents shall comply with local district policies and procedures.
