What is the name of your state?Texas
Per a letter from Attourney General John Cornyn(August 23,1999), a student cannot be denied certain benefits awarded on the merit of attendence under section 25.087(b) of the Texas Education Code. However, shouldn't a student who is excused under section 25.087(a) of that same code be allowed those same benefits?
Case: Student was out of school for four days under a doctor's care fort infectious influenza. After returning to school the student made up all work missed in less than the time allowed. The administration gave the student four "excused" absences. Now those same administrators are going to deny that student the award of being exept from final exams based on the fact that he has four absences (excused), although that student meets all of the other requirements to be expemt from final exams.
Can they do this?
