Grade Reduction/Credit Denial
Grade reduction or credit denial determinations may include student attendance. Student attendance may not be a sole criterion. If attendance is a factor, prior to a grade reduction or credit denial, the following shall occur:
1. The teacher will identify how the attendance and class participation is related to the instructional goals of the subject or course;
2. Parents and students will be informed;
3. Due process procedures are available to the student when the grade is reduced or credit denied for attendance rather than academic reasons;
4. Reasons for nonattendance are considered and the grade is not reduced or credit denied based upon absences due to:
a. Religious reasons;
b. A student’s disability; or
c. An excused absence, as determined by the district’s policy.
