Responsibilties of Parent/Legal Guardians (JBE)

Parents/legal guardians shall enforce school attendance for their child. Until the student has caught up with his or her schoolwork, the parent/legal guardian shall ensure that the student makes up missed schoolwork by attending afterschool tutoring sessions, weekend make-up classes, or other remediation opportunities, as determined by the School District. The parents/legal guardians shall also attend meetings at the school on at least a monthly basis relative to the student’s progress until the student has caught up on his or her missed schoolwork and until instructional time has been recovered. The principal or designee of each school shall note any concerns that school personnel have relative to a child’s school attendance on Supplemental Security Income forms that the school receives relative to that child (RS 17:233).
