The Attendance Policy Problem

This study by Sarah Young and Kristine Martin examines the impact of the current attendance policy at Kuna High School on student success and graduation rates. Students who struggle with attendance risk losing credit and jeopardizing their ability to graduate, in compliance with state law. The study explores perspectives on whether the policy adequately prepares students for college and the workforce and proposes potential modifications, including stricter punishments or increased student responsibility. The pros and cons of different policy approaches are evaluated, with a focus on balancing preparation for the future with accommodating individual circumstances. Research methods include surveys of students and teachers at Kuna High School, analysis of state law, and comparisons with attendance policies in other school districts in the region.
