Code: IKAE

Amity School District 4J

Adopted: 5/9/90 Revised/Readopted: 12/13/95

Grade Reduction/Credit Denial

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;
2. Parents and students will be informed;
3. Procedures in due process are available to the student when the grade is reduced or credit denied for attendance rather than academic reasons;
4. Reasons for non-attendance are considered and the grade is not reduced or credit denied based upon absences due to:

1. Religious reasons;
2. A student’s disability; or
3. An excused absence, as determined by the district’s policy.
