ATTENDANCE - Rules and Regulations

Absence from school can mean that a pupil will fail the prescribed course of study and will not graduate. Absence also violates New Jersey State Law (NJSA 18A:38-25 and 26). Absence can also result in criminal charges against parents and juvenile delinquency findings against the absent pupil. This Board of Education has a duty to enforce the attendance laws and therefore establishes, as a policy, that in the event of pupil absenteeism exceeding the permitted absence, there will be no credit issued for the school year.
