Legal Question of the Week

mailbag_red_background_resized.jpgDear Legal Mailbag: Last week, you wrote about absences and administrative discretion in determining what absences are excused and what are unexcused. Now I am confused. I thought that the State Department of Education issues guidance on what absences should be considered excused and what absences should be considered unexcused. I would love to exercise discretion, but I didn’t think I had any anymore. Can I really tell parents that I don’t accept their excuses?
