Bill Summary

Relative to the number of unexcused absences by students in public schools. Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to change the existing law by increasing the number of days a student can be absent from public school without an excuse from 5 days to 10 days. This amendment, found in Section 7 of chapter 222 of the acts of 2012, adjusts the threshold for what is considered an unexcused absence, potentially allowing students more leeway before their absences trigger further action.
