How is the 10-day rule counted when there is a school break, such as a winter break?
The 10 consecutive days absent is counted for the days school is in session. If the student is gone 10 consecutive days before the school break, you would withdraw the student on the 11th school day. If the student is gone less than 10 consecutive days before the school break, you would continue with counting the number of days absent when school begins after the break. For example, if the student was gone 7 consecutive days before the break and 3 consecutive days after the break, you would withdrawn them on the 4th consecutive day after the break, which would be the 11th consecutive school day.
