According to Texas State law, each student must be in attendance 90 percent of the days the class is offered. The implementation of the Attendance for Credit Initiative is to ensure that all students are in attendance 90 percent of the time a class is offered to certify successful accrual of credit or final grade.

Purpose

Students who are passing their classes, but have excessive absences, will have the opportunity to regain credit or final grade for their classes by completing a principal's plan.

Determination of Credit

The Attendance Review Committee will review all documents for approval. Students will need 90 percent attendance rate, make-up work for academic seat time, and a passing grade of 70% or above in each class. An administrator's signature is required for final approval.

Absences Defined

Absences that count towards the “90 Percent Rule”:

E – Excused Absence
Exemption: Medical-based excused absences with valid documentation

U – Unexcused Absence
Truancy, non-school activities and vacations
