You are telling us that a student is getting homebound services through the school district, and the school district is stating that its own program doesn't satisfy its attendance requirements? That makes no sense. yes, that would be the problem. the child was legally signed out by a physician due to mental severe mental abuse in the school (yes I have seen the paper work I drove the mom to the appointment and read the paper then drove her to the county school board office. So I know she isn't making stuff up. From what I read He should not be listed as absent. Seems like the county is not following the state rule as printed on the BOE state website. If they were the kids causing the problem would be sent to an alternative school until they could be reformed then returned to main stream schools and none of this would be an issue.

Does your school district offer schools of choice? If so, I would be rushing to choose a different school.
In the county there are 3 elementary schools, 2 middle, and 1 highschool. The nearest middle school from this one is is 1/2 hour away and is even worse they have yet to meet the yearly progress for a good 5 years now. Neither has the high school for that matter. So choice A is the current middle school and choice B is homebound and choice C is homeschool which this mother I'm talking about isn't really able to do (tried last year and couldn't teach the math) If there was another choice of where to send the kids we would have gone that route.
