Sorry was called away to continuing festivities ,
will search around for more on this . If that will help .
And right this / any student handbook is a little different than the school policy any way for stuff like partial absences - though that is in there I tried to highlight a fellow poster on GA policy but not no avail.
I've worked in schools and had my kids in schools public private charter parochial - with different policies and actions. I have been part of writing absence policies. There are issues with regard to hours in class in school for a number of reasons . I will look around some more for this school. LHS
There are attendance offices with dedicated staff and phone lines as well as computers And I am sure there was one at kj's school. ( if not it wouldn't be prestigious 21st century model.) and legal Ga board of Ed. Schools have to!! And DO call when students do not arrive at school when they do not hear from a parent. If a student leaves they need a note and permission - it has to be held against excused and non excused absences - all towards legal hours students need for graduation. ( especially in HS )Attendance is posted by each teacher by the end of the day.
By then mr And Mrs Johnson already knew something was wrong and contacted LE.
It is Pretty significant to me that they already had worried their son was possibly in danger and he was. Did LE immediately check records and the parents already knew in the pm that he missed his last scheduled class and also missed attending a basketball game ( atleast as a fan )
Btw I know you all know this Calls or letters go out to parents for paper trail for school back (ourselves )up. As a teacher we are responsible. Beyond grades etc I am not joking you god forbid something happens a child dies coming or going from school.. (Especially when students are so much more autonomous in HS)Or right in front of us. Omg I think I would have a massive coronary myself. There would be two bodies.
