Students absent due to a COVID related incident, will be coded with a “9” for attendance purposes. These absences will be excused absences. Please keep in mind that all students are bound bythe law, (Texas Edcuation Code – EDUC § 25.085) which requires studens to be in attendance at least 90% of their classes to receive credit. Therefore, if a student exceeds the limit of absences (excused or not) they may be required to make up time.
