<div dir="ltr">Greetings Colleagues,<div>In no way do we think we have it all figured out is my DISCLAIMER, however we are very grateful that we got involved in a grant with our Mahoning County Juvenile Court and some neighboring districts a few years ago that we believe helped us prepare for this legislation and the steps needed to honor the spirit of the law. I am attaching two documents right now for your review: Our Flow Chart which guides the steps we take to address attendance and provide the requirements of the law. Second, is the attendance policy letter that gets sent out which essentially outlines our attendance guidelines that are spelled out in our student handbooks for all schools. We have also developed some district letters, attendance contracts, etc. to send out at the appropriate steps. I am happy to send any other material to colleagues if desired. If additional information is desired, feel free to reach out to me or my Superintendent Vince Colaluca. Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Jeremy</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 6, 2017 at 10:05 AM, Steven Dickerson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hill_dickerson@tccsa.net" target="_blank">hill_dickerson@tccsa.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>I know I am the only District in the State that may have to put stuff together for HB410! Our lovely attendance mandates! If anyone would love to share ideas from your intervention plans I would greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>PS - I will have a dozen others wanting me to share info with them.</p>
