Section 126-28-6 - Attendance
Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 38, September 20, 2024
6.1. Enrollment in an approved participating WV Pre-K program is voluntary; however, once the child is enrolled, attendance must follow W. Va. Code § 18-8-1 et seq., which allows the program administrator (i.e., principal, director, executive director), teacher, and parent/guardian to pursue disenrollment of the child if they concur that requiring further attendance for that school year is not in the best interest of the child. Once a child is dis-enrolled, re-enrollment is not guaranteed for that school year.
6.2. Each county must establish and implement procedures to ensure that the parent/guardian and other family members, as appropriate, understand the availability of services, the attendance policy, and the benefits of childhood education.
6.3. Each county must establish and implement a provision for working with families whose children are chronically absent and/or tardy that does not penalize the family for acting in the best interest of the child. Provisions for children with documented chronic medical conditions must be included as defined in W. Va. 126CSR81, WVBE Policy 4110, Attendance (Policy 4110).
