Attendance Accounting

In the continuation or alterative school, the attendance accounting is done on a positive attendance basis. This means, that a student must be accounted for during each of the three hours he/she is scheduled to be in class. If the student is only there for one hour, then the school only receives credit for one hour, rather than the full day, which is this 3 hours per day/15 hours per week for alternative education. If a student is scheduled to attend classes for more than 3 hours each/15 hours each week, the school can only claim credit for the first 15 hours of attendance each week.

Note: Students will marked PRESENT if at school, in class or not per education code.
