In the two districts that I have worked in, a parent calling in makes it an excused absence. However, if we are talking law then, there is no such thing as an excused or unexcused absence. I learned that in my administrative degree class though I still have not seen a district that doesn't differentiate. Parents have the right to take students out of class without giving a reason. That's the facts Jack. LOL
Then why does the admin tell me my DD has to bring a doctors note for her absence to be excused when I check her out? Please feel free to contact them directly if you would like to argue your point...South Forsyth High / HomePage
