Your district must make available and provide to the Financial Compliance Division of the TEA copies of all required attendance records within 20 working days of written request by the agency. Failure to provide all required attendance records (specific program[s] and/or grant[s]) will result in the TEA's retaining 100% of your district's Foundation School Program (FSP) allotment for the undocumented attendance for the school year(s) for which records have been requested.8 The following documentation is retained in the attendance audit box for five years:

Attendance Worksheets

Daily Register Report

Attendance excuse notes

Attendance Office Visit Reports

Homebound attendance logs

Any other supporting documentation to justify attendance entries and/or changes

Contact Hours Report

Attendance Verification Form

How and When Teachers Take Official Attendance How Attendance is Recorded First Day of School Attendance the first day of school will be taken on printed rosters given to teachers by campus secretary. Teachers will turn in roster to the campus secretary during ADA period no later than 10 minutes after official time.

How Attendance is Recorded Attendance will be recorded electronically through the district student information system. TxEIS is the current student information system.

Recording Attendance During the Event of a Technical Outage In the event that teachers are unable to record attendance electronically due to a technical outage, attendance must be recorded on a paper roster at the official attendance time. The paper class roster must be signed, dated and submitted to the campus secretary for manual entry. Extra Copies of current class rosters are kept in the office and will be handed out to all teachers in the event of technical issues with the student information system.

Official Attendance Time Paducah ISD has designated 09:30 a.m. as the official attendance time for grades PK -12

Paducah ISD 2018-2019 Attendance Procedures Manual 7

An attendance accounting system that allows teachers to enter attendance directly into the automated system must provide security to the data that are entered. Systems must include the following safeguards and security features:

Requirement that teachers log on to the system using distinct secret passwords

Timing out (automatic shutoff) if the program has not had an activity in an appropriately short period of time

Ability to report the date, time and identity of the teacher entering the absence data, upon request

Ability to report the date, time and identity of the individual making changes to the attendance report, upon request

Provision of a positive confirmation for 100% of attendance (teacher submits “All Present” rather than showing no one absent)9

How Attendance is Entered into TxEIS Students who are on campus and in their classrooms at the time attendance is taken must have their official attendance conducted and completed by the classroom teacher. Attendance may not be taken by students, classroom aides, or clerks. Using a student "sign-in" sheet to record attendance is not an acceptable method of taking roll and will result in the attendance being disallowed.10

Campus Teacher Attendance Campus teachers will submit attendance electronically through TxEIS GradeBook at the official attendance time.

Substitute Teacher Attendance Substitute teachers must complete a Substitute Attendance Acknowledgement form for each class. Substitute teachers will take attendance on a TxEIS generated Attendance Worksheet at the official attendance time. Each page of the Attendance Worksheet will be signed and dated by the substitute teacher and submitted to the campus secretary to be manually entered into TxEIS. The paper roster will be kept for auditing purposes in the daily attendance folder.

Manual Entries or Corrections to Student Attendance Data District staff members must always use ink to make manual entries or corrections in the attendance records, on daily absence slips, on 6-week absence reports and on daily summary sheets. Staff members must never record manual entries in pencil, use liquid correction fluid, or use a signature stamp. If errors are made on any official attendance document, the staff member making the correction must strike through the error, enter corrections nearby and initial.11 All changes made in TxEIS will be entered by the campus secretaries.

Homebound Attendance When the homebound committee has approved for a student to receive homebound services, the homebound instructor will submit an attendance log to the campus secretary weekly. The campus secretary will manually enter attendance based on the chart below. Once the data is entered, make a copy of the log, and keep a copy in each daily folder for that week. Email the lead homebound teacher if you have not received the homebound log for a student within one week.

Campus Attendance Students who are on campus at the time attendance is taken, but who are not in their assigned classroom, are considered in attendance for FSP [funding] purposes provided they were with a campus official (e.g., campus secretary, principal, etc.). Class admit slips or other documentation supporting that a student was with a campus official must be retained for audit purposes.14 Any student who is with a staff member, other than the teacher of record, at the time attendance is taken, must appear on the Attendance Office Visit Report, Paducah ISD School Activity Attendance Form or a note from the staff member accounting for the student. The documentation must account for the

Paducah ISD 2018-2019 Attendance Procedures Manual 13

The Paducah Independent School District is committed to working with students and parents/guardians to provide a framework that supports consistent and regular attendance for all children. We value the education of our students, recognizing the relationship between regular attendance and student achievement. We work with our families to ensure that whenever possible, their children are in attendance at school. The purpose of this attendance manual is to provide information about the laws and regulations governing school attendance, and the procedures followed by the District to maintain compliance with these mandated policies. Through utilization of the guidelines and forms provided in this manual, the District reinforces consistent implementation of attendance procedures across all K-12 schools. These procedures help ensure students attend school on a regular basis. Absence from School Absence is defined as the nonattendance of a student on a day that school is in session. It is expected that a parent/guardian notify the school about the student’s illness or family emergency on the day of the absence. Unlawful Absence (under 17 years of age)/Unexcused Absence (17 years of age or older) Parents/guardians must provide a written explanation for the absence of their student. All absences should be treated as unlawful or unexcused until the school district receives a written excuse explaining the reason(s) for an absence. Parents/guardians and students should submit the written explanation when the student returns to school. If no written explanation is provided, the absence is recorded as unexcused/unlawful. Likewise, if a written explanation offers an excuse for absence that is not allowable, the absence will be recorded as unexcused/unlawful. If a written explanation is questionable in nature, the absence will be investigated. An absence only becomes excused when the school codes it accordingly. When students under the age of 17 have an unexcused absence, the absence will be counted as unlawful or unexcused. All unlawful absences are considered truant. Unexcused absences include absence from school due to parental neglect, parental consent for reasons other than those specifically excused, illegal employment, and truancy. Lawful Absence or Excused Absence A lawful absence from school is broadly defined by the state. Excused absences from school at the Paducah School District include the following:

✦ Illness

✦ Prearranged medical, dental, clinic, or hospital appointment

✦ Court appearances

✦ Funeral of relative

✦ Student visits to colleges – college visits should not even count as an absence. They should be able to be able to be counted as if they were in school if they go through the proper protocol to get permission and provide documentation from the college upon return.

✦ Authorized school activities

✦ Family emergencies

✦ Observance of student’s religious holiday

✦ Participation in religious instruction program - maximum of 36 hours annually

✦ Participation in a 4-H, FFA or combined 4-H and FFA project - upon written request. The principal may require a doctor’s certificate in situations where frequent absences are occurring and/or it appears absences are unexcused and/or unlawful. This requirement may remain in effect for the remainder of the school year. A maximum of ten (10) days of cumulative lawful absences verified by parental notification are permitted during a school year. All cumulative lawful absences verified by parent note

Paducah ISD 2018-2019 Attendance Procedures Manual 14

beyond ten (10) days will require an excuse from a physician. Students who are legally absent have the opportunity to make up any work missed. It is expected when a student has an excuse absence, the student should get the number of days absent plus 1 day to turn work or projects in. Medical Appointments Students with an appointment to visit a doctor or dentist during school hours may be excused for the absence if a signed written request is provided by the parent/guardian prior to the event. The written request should include the name of the physician and appointment time. A note from the doctor/dentist must be given to the office upon the student’s return to school. If a student does not bring a note to school before leaving for an appointment, the absence will be marked unexcused. If an appointment becomes necessary at the last minute, the parent/guardian should contact Mrs. Powell to provide authorization for the student to leave school. A note from the doctor/dentist should follow the student’s return to school. Student athletes are strongly encouraged to make appointments after school hours. If students in extracurricular activities have a doctor’s appointment prior to 1:00 p.m., they must return to school before the end of the school day with a note from the doctor/dentist in order to participate in the after school events. If you leave school due to illness then you will not be allowed to enter any after school extra-curricular event for that day, must have a doctor note or parent note. Tardiness Tardiness is defined as arriving late to a student’s homeroom or class. Tardiness can have a significant negative impact on the learning process. Students must be in their homeroom classes by the starting time of the school. Below are the starting and ending times for the elementary school, middle school, and high school. • Kindergarten through 2nd Grade: 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.• Elementary and Middle School (Grades 3rd – 8th): 8:00 a.m. - 3:47 p.m. • High School (Grades 9 -12): 8:00 a.m. - 3:47 p.m. Three tardies will equal one unexcused absence. District Accountability for Absences It is the responsibility of each school to maintain accountability for student attendance. Mrs. Powell and Mr. Flemons are responsible for assuring that all regulations are followed. If there are situations that cannot be addressed at the building level, and/or issues that directly relate to district policy regarding attendance, the District Office will provide guidance. The Superintendent or designee shall annually notify students, parents/guardians and staff about the district’s attendance policy by publishing it in the student handbook, district web site and other efficient methods. School rules and procedures governing student attendance, absences and excusals will be shared annually with these stakeholders. Written Notification for Absences The Paducah School District has implemented the following guidelines for monitoring attendance and providing written notification to parents/guardians about their student’s absences. Lawful Absences After a student has seven (7) lawful or excused absences (excuses consist of approved lawful absences), a Doctor’s Excuse Warning Letter is issued to the parent/guardian. • After a student has ten (10) lawful or excused absences (excuses consist of approved lawful absences), a Doctor’s Excuse Required Letter is sent to the parent/guardian. Subsequent absences that do not have an accompanying doctor’s note will be considered unlawful or unexcused. • The written excuse is to be submitted when the child returns to school.

Paducah ISD 2018-2019 Attendance Procedures Manual 15

Unlawful Absences or Unexcused Absences Absences are treated as unlawful until the school receives a written excuse, to be submitted when the students returns to school After a student has three (2) unlawful absences, the school sends an Unlawful Absence Letter (the first official notice) via certified mail, which includes: (a) dates of the two (2) unlawful absences (or accumulated school time missed), and (b) legal penalties resulting from additional unlawful absences. If the letter is returned, the school will send another one using regular mail service. • After the second unlawful absence, the school may coordinate a School Attendance Improvement Plan (SAIP) meeting to resolve the issue. All parties (student, parent/guardian, school staff, etc.) sign the SAIP at the conclusion of the meeting. Any additional unlawful absences (2 or more) that occur after the SAIP meeting will result in Saturday School to make up the time at the end of the third week and six week. Any future attendance issues should be referred to the Principal.
