Credit Recovery Process

Regular and punctual attendance is the greatest factor in school success; therefore, a student’s first concern should be to attend class regularly. Being absent unnecessarily from school impairs a student’s opportunity to succeed in studies and also indirectly encourages the development of poor attitudes toward schoolwork and other obligations.

 

Sanger ISD’s Attendance for Course Credit guidelines is based upon Texas Education Code 25.092, which states in part, “…a student in any grade level from kindergarten through grade 12 may not be given credit or a final grade for a class unless the student is in attendance for at least 90 percent of the days the class is offered.” The Sanger ISD Board of Trustees also provides guidance in policy FEC.

 

Because Sanger ISD recognizes that consistent school attendance, academic success, and school completion have a positive correlation, Sanger ISD has revised the criteria for Attendance for Course Credit to encourage improved attendance. As stated above, to receive credit in a 

class, a student must attend at least 90 percent of the days the class is offered. If a student does not attend a class 90% of the time, it is the policy of SISD to allow the student to make up the missed time in several different ways prior to the end of the semester in which the time was missed in order to come into compliance with the law and gain credit for the class in question. 

 

Students who are in violation of the attendance code and who fail to make up the amount of time required to be in compliance with the law will be denied credit for that class for that semester. An attendance committee consisting of school administration and faculty will hear any appeals if a student or parent wishes to appeal a denial of credit brought about by the failure to attend a class at least 90% of the days in the semester.

 

Note: All absences, both excused and unexcused, count against the 90% attendance rule and for exemption purposes.
