How will my school deal with absences and ADA money?
A school may excuse the absences of a pupil who holds an entertainment work permit. [EC48225.5] This law limits the number of excused absences for a child holding an entertainment work permit to five absences per school year, each of which may consist of up to five days (total 25 days). A child excused from school attendance because of employment in the entertainment industry must be instructed during the absence by a studio teacher certified by the Labor Commissioner in accordance with Title 8, Section 11755 of the California Code of Regulations. All work, grades and credit that the pupil completes with the studio teacher must be accepted by the school district or county superintendent of schools.
