Compulsory School Attendance

A child who is required to attend school shall attend school each day for the entire period the program of instruction is provided. A child may be excused for temporary absence from any cause acceptable to the teacher, principal, or superintendent. A child may be excused absence for religious holy days. A child may also be excused for medical appointments provided the child begins the school day and returns to class the same day. If the student satisfactorily completes the school work missed, the day of absence shall be counted as a day of attendance.
