It is felt that the absence pro blem is critical enough to war rant definite action. Ih has been pointed out that the excessive absences of students from the regular schedule program re presents a serious financial loss to the district. The District provides the op portunity for quality education. This is done at considerable cost to the tax payers of theI area. They have a right to ex- i pect students to be in school to I take advantage of the opportun-: ity thus provided. In view of these facts the | Board of Directors, Administra tive School District No. 129J recognizing the importance of regular attendance hereby es tablish the following policy re garding excessive absences Excused absences shall be in terpreted to include only cases caused by illness of the student I or serious illness or death in the student's immediate family. It is recognized that students may on occasions be required to be absent from school for seasons other than those above outlined. Such absences are not excused in terms of the before mentioned policy, however, in cases of necessity, arrange ments may be made with the school principal and instructors concerned in advance for mak ing up work missed. Thiss will be taken to include students working for short periods of time. Students missing more than 15 days per semester or 25 days in a given school year will be denied credit for courses taken during said semester. Students falling in this catagory will be required to appear before the Board of Directors with their Kimmel To Serve Fifth Term as Mill City Mayor There were 42 voters turning out for the city election held Tuesday at the city hall with all incumbents re-elected to of fice.
