Grade reduction or credit denial determinations may include student attendance. Student attendance may not be a sole criterion. However, if attendance is a factor, prior to a grade reduction or credit denial, the following shall occur:

1. The teacher will identify how the attendance and class participation is related to the instructional goals of the subject or course and will inform parents and students;

2. Northwest Regional Education Service District’s (NWRESD) procedures will include due process for the student when the grade is reduced or credit denied for attendance rather than academic reasons;

3. The reasons for nonattendance are considered and the grade is not reduced or credit denied based upon absences due to:

a. Religious reasons;

b. A student’s disability; or

c. An excused absence, as determined by NWRESD’s policy.
