Estimated Time: 

Person Responsible:

Tara Vikjord

Background: 

Staff is presenting an overview of the District's attendance and participation process.

 

Senate Bill 98 requires Districts to implement processes for attendance and participation no later than September 1, 2020.

 

On Monday, August 24, 2020, the Principal Apportionment Policy Office provided clarification about attendance and participation reporting requirements.

 

Districts have been awaiting this guidance since the passage of SB 98 at the end of June.  In the interim, Districts have had to create their own processes absent the guidance.

 

MVWSD did have processes in place for attendance and participation and based on the new information had to make revisions in a very short amount of time

 

Documentation of daily attendance and participation will need to be provided to auditors in the spring and not meeting the requirements could result in financial penalties to the District.
