Some 400,000 students in Chicago Public Schools attend school 170 days, with permission from state lawmakers. A similar waiver allows a suburban district to shave eight days off its calendar so teachers can work on improving student achievement when students aren't there.
According to a new BESE policy, students are required to be in class for a total of 94 percent of scheduled days. In Calcasieu Parish, high school students cannot miss more than 5 instructional days per semester and elementary students cannot miss more than 10 instructional days per year. School officials said this new percentage is half as much as what students were allowed to miss last school year. For the 2009-2010 school year, high school students were allowed to miss 10 days per semester and elementary students were given 20 days per year. We plan to enforce it, to the maximum effect, said Keith Leleux, Director for Child Welfare and Attendance in Calcasieu Parish.
