Effective April 10, 2023, if a student is chronically absent, the parent/guardian must provide medical verification for future absences to be excused. Chronic absenteeism means that a student has missed 10 percent or more of school days (to date) due to absences for any reason—excused, unexcused absences and suspensions. Absences can
cause students to have difficulty learning to read by their third-grade benchmark assessments, affect academic achievement in middle school, or affect student motivation to do the work required to graduate from high school.
Per MDUSD Board Regulation 5113 “If a student shows a pattern of chronic absenteeism due to illness, district staff may require physician verification for further absences to be excused.”
Remember “Every School Day Counts. Attend today, Achieve for a lifetime!
