Attendance is an important factor in the successful operation of any School District and in maintaining continuity of the educational program. The Board of Education is vitally interested in the attendance of each employee and considers regular attendance an important criterion for satisfactory job performance and professional behavior.

The privilege of District employment imposes on each employee the responsibility to be on the job on time every scheduled work day. This responsibility requires that the employee maintain good health standards, take intelligent precautions against accidents, both on and off the job, and manage personal affairs in order to satisfy District attendance requirements.

Because of the high costs of absences and disrupted work schedules, the Superintendent shall develop guidelines to implement this policy.
