80 percent of doc notes are faked. Maybe more now with AI
Tris policy is extreme but so is parents not forcing their kids to go to school.
Kids send BS Dr notes
Kids miss a lot of school
Kids fail testing
Parents want teachers and admins fired due to low scores.

Last year my kid missed 3 days in a row (Thurs / Friday / Monday) because the school team she was on had a competition out of state.
The high school sent us a letter reminding us about the importance of daily attendance about the state truancy laws
The letter listed out the three days she missed.
Every kid on the team got the same letter.

This is actually great in my opinion.
I have no idea what day to day life in Lawrence Cnty. But they elected a very firm school board.
If the citizens hate it, they can fire the board members.
Not to make this more political than it already is but this is what democracy looks like.

17 absences is 10% of the 170 days of school, in Chicago over 40% of the students missed at least 10% of schools days.

The policy states that after just three absences, schools will start intervention. If the student misses school for eight or more days, they will be referred to juvenile court.
Probably should have set absences at 8 with a verified doctor’s note to make up work and avoid the first 8 absences with Dr notes being counted towards intervention and also towards being referred to juvenile court. Maybe a limit on how many of those 8 can be unexcused which should be treated differently.

100% chance a lawsuit comes from this. Especially if you have a kid that ends up with a communicable disease like whooping cough that the county’s health department requires them to stay home.
Superintendent should’ve realized this probably wasn’t worth his job before coming up with this rule.

School Nazis.
If a kid is sick…or I want to take them out for a vacation….if they make up the work and pass the class WTF cares?
How about we cut back on the half days and work days and all that shite so the kids can have more excused absences?

Someone bookmark this and bump it when they have to shut that schools down and go to virtual classes because of flu running rampant in the Winter.

By the way that is written the schools reserve the right to have their nurses then say your kid is too sick to be at school and send them home, marking the kid "tardy".
So, they're giving themselves an out to not have to deal with your sick, virus-riddled kid.

Hire some Amish Mafia guys to do a drive by with a Mennonite driver through Lawrenceburg.

Here's the kicker - many parishes have an "Attendance Recovery" program where a student can stay after school and do some type of online work to erase those absences. It's a joke.

As a parent this seems way extreme.
But if you ask my parents… this isn’t nothing. I was in elementary school in the 80s.
I remember the only award I used to get was the perfect attendance. I was a proud 8 yr old walking to the stage in front of the whole K-8 student body to that certificate.
Had to deal with just as much shite as the kids that made honor roll IMO.

How is that a joke?
That’s a great compromise IMO.
Read my post above. I was forged with iron as a kid. But nowadays. If a kid misses school and makes up the days online… but still passes? What’s the big deal?
Parents will be outraged bc now they’re more responsible for their kid going to school. And if they can’t go to school you better tell them to turn off the screen time and help them make up the work for the missed days.
Parents are lazy asf now.

How are people even able to miss that many days?
Senior year of HS I had chicken pox. Pretty sure there is a several day window of being contagious. Also had knee surgery and was also in the hospital 5 days with an infection. Life happens.
