To revise details of reports schools are required to submit to the state on attendance, expulsions, suspensions, truancy, etc. The bill would also expand the criteria for what is considered an “excused absence;” require accommodations for illiterate or non-English speaking parents required to send a note explaining an absence; redefine “chronically absent,” “disciplinary absence,” and more. This is part of a legislative package that would suspend school accountability measures in the 2020-21 school year.
Referred to the Committee on Education
