OOLOGAH-TALALA PUBLIC SCHOOLS

TRUANCY AND ATTENDANCE

The Oologah-Talala Board of Education recognizes that regular school attendance of a child of school age is required by Oklahoma law and that the school is required to record all student absences and the reasons for them and to report excessive absences to proper authorities. While the board considers regular school attendance essential for success in school, the board also recognizes that an occasional absence by students may be unavoidable. The board believes that proper communication between schools, parents, and legal authorities in school attendance matters assists students to attend school on a regular basis and attains the maximum benefit from classroom education.

The superintendent is directed to establish regulations that implement and support this policy.
