DETERMINING ATTENDANCE (TOC)

The school system determines half- or full-time attendance. A child is considered in attendance even if out of school because of vacation, temporary illness, or family emergency.

A child is considered attending school if they are in an approved home school setting. A household is required to show verification they are meeting requirements established by the school district.

Children with a disability may attend fewer hours than other students. They may also receive instructions from a visiting teacher at home and still meet the school attendance requirements.

A child enrolled in a vocational adjustment program is considered in school full time.
