Attendance is a key 3 factor in student achievement; therefore, students are expected to be present each day that school is in 4 session. Parents have both a legal obligation and a moral responsibility to see that children are present 5 every day that school is in session. 6 7 The Director of Schools shall establish and maintain an attendance program designed to ensure all school- 8 age children attend school and that alternative program options are available for students who do not meet 9 minimum attendance requirements. This program shall be designed to address and adhere to all statutory 10 and regulatory requirements established by the State of Tennessee. School administrators and faculties 11 are expected to develop programs and practices to achieve or exceed student attendance goals established 12 by the State Board of Education.

Only 32 authorized school officials with legitimate educational purposes may have access to student information 33 without the consent of the student or parent(s)/guardians(s).3 34 35 Absences shall be classified as either excused or unexcused as determined by the school leader or his/her 36 designee.

Summons, subpoena, or court order; or 19 20 11. Circumstances which in the judgment of the school leader create emergencies over which the 21 student has no control. 22 23 Any absence not complying with the above reasons for excused absences will be considered as unexcused. 24 Examples of unexcused absences are (a) family vacations taken during the school year and (b) Senior 25 Skip Day. 26 27 The principal or designee shall be responsible for ensuring that:8 28 29 1.

Written excuses are submitted for absences and tardiness; 37 38 5. If necessary, verification is required from an official or other source to justify absences; 39 40 6. System-wide procedures for accounting and reporting are to be followed; 41 42 7. Out-of-school suspensions (OSS) are not reported as an unexcused absence and are not a 43 chargeable offense for truancy in Juvenile Court; and 44 45 8. Students in a homebound program are not marked absent from school. Attendance for homebound 46 students is recorded by the homebound teacher. 47 48 ABSENCE DUE TO ISOLATION OR QUARANTINE ORDER 16 49 50 For the 2021/2022 school year only, students who participate in Remote Instruction during a temporary 51 COVID-19 Isolation or Quarantine Period may be counted as present if daily student attendance is Page 2 of 6 J-120 1 taken and includes daily periodic visual, verbal, and/or written confirmation of student participation in 2 six and one-half (6 ½) hours of instructional time per day for grades one (1) through twelve (12) and 3 four (4) hours of instructional time per day for Kindergarten, using multiple methods of confirming 4 student attendance. 5 6 Two or more of the following methods of monitoring attendance must apply for a student to be counted 7 present: 8 1.

  • Walk-To-School Prioritization Analysis for the Schools of Knox County, Tennessee
    Walk-To-School Prioritization Analysis for the schools of Knox County, Tennessee Prepared for the Knox County Dept. of Engineering & Public Works by January 2014 The objective of this study is to identify the locations in Knox County having the greatest amount of potential and realized pedestrian activity associated with the walk-to-school trip type. With knowl- edge about where the greatest pedestrian demand exists, capital planners can focus efforts toward the determination of specific pedestrian infrastructure needs across the county. The Knox County school walking trip estimates were developed using RPM’s non-motorized trip modeling process. The process uses a combination of local and national data to produce walk-to- school trip estimates for all 86 public schools in Knox County. In the model, every student repre- sents one trip made to school, with the potential for this to be a walking trip increasing as the trip length decreases. The student’s home address is geo-coded as his/her origin and the student’s school is geo-coded as his/her destination. The student data was obtained from Knox County Schools for all 59,276 students in the school system using school year 2013-2014 enrollment data. With the origin and destination of all travel-to-school trips mapped, a unique trip assignment for all 59,276 trips to school was performed using current open-source mapping. This process results in the travel-to-school distance assuming that the existing street network is used to make the trip.

July 14, 2014 Groundbreaking ceremony RACE TO THE TOP held at Marble Alley site Part 4: Data Mining By Sally Absher [email protected] A particularly troubling aspect of the RTTT scheme is the emphasis on massive data-collection on students, and the sharing of that data for various purposes essentially unrelated to genuine education. As far back as the 1970s, the federal government recognized the importance of protecting the data of minor children, specifically related to school records. Congress passed the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). FERPA gave parents control over the disclosure of information from their minor children’s records. Generally, schools needed written permission from the parent to release any information from a student’s education record. But in December 2011, the U.S. Department of PHOTO BY DAN ANDREWS.
