Can a family vacation be construed as an excused absence when there is some educational value to the trip? Is there a district policy related to vacations and educational excursions?
Board policy FEA (Legal) states that student absences may be excused for any cause acceptable to the teacher, principal or superintendent. Students are responsible for learning extensive curriculum and by far the best way to achieve this is to be present at school. Districts receive funding based on student attendance and achievement. 8. Why isn’t there any handwriting instruction/ support for handwriting problems in the 5th and 6 grades? The 4th grade provides instruction; however 5th and 6th grades receive grades on neatness but do not provide support or assistance for those with difficulties. What is the district policy? Since the lower grades are more dedicated to developing handwriting skills; as with other developing skills, the TEKS concentrate on developing written language skills with the assumption students have mastered the basic skills of actually making the letters. If a particular student is experiencing difficulty, the teacher and school will and should address the issue
