SF2882

The purpose of this bill is to clarify the definition of student attendance in Minnesota schools for educational and administrative purposes.

Attendance Definition: The bill defines a student as "in attendance" on days when a school employee is supervising or providing services to the student.
Record-Keeping and Reporting: It mandates that a clerk or another authorized officer within the school board is responsible for issuing and maintaining records of the excuses provided for student absences. This should be done according to rules set by the school board.

Clarification: The bill updates the language of the existing law to specifically define what counts as student attendance. This clarification helps ensure consistency in how attendance is tracked and reported across the state's educational institutions.
