90% Attendance Rule

TEC 25. 092 MINIMUM ATTENDANCE FOR CLASS CREDIT

All absences count, whether excused or unexcused, in determining whether the student has attended the requisite number of days to receive class credit or a final grade.The attendance committee procedure and the district policies under Section 25.092 apply to determination of class credit for any student whose attendance since enrollment is less than the 90% minimum requirement.

90% Attendance RuleThe new ruling requires students to be in attendance for every class.Example: A student is picked up by a legal guardian for a doctors appointment before 3:15. The student misses his/her reading, PE and Science classes. The student will be counted absent for these classes and the absence will count towards the 90% rule.Violation of the 90% rule will require the implementation of The Principals Attendance Plan.
