Daily Participation and Non-Traditional Instruction

For the 2020-2021 school year, Kentucky school districts will record participation in Infinite Campus (IC) for ALL students in lieu of recording attendance. Districts will be receiving their funding using the 2019-2020 or 2018-2019 average daily attendance data, therefore daily attendance will not be reported. However, compulsory education still is required, and therefore it is important to capture and be accountable for the engagement and delivery of instruction to all students, whether in person in the school building or remotely from home.

In addition, the term non-traditional instruction (NTI) is an umbrella term for instruction that occurs in places other than the traditional classroom. It includes the official Non-Traditional Instruction Program outlined in KRS 158.070(9) and 701 KAR 7:150 that relates to school closures (NTI days) as well as any other day a student is receiving their instruction remotely.

For the 2020-21 school year, daily attendance must be taken for in-seat students. Elementary school teachers must take attendance at the beginning of the school day. Middle and high school teachers must take period attendance throughout the day. Check in/check out data is maintained by the attendance clerks at the office.

• All visitors are discouraged inside the building until further notice as guidelines allow. If possible, please make an appointment before visiting school.

• Any parent or visitor who drops in during the school day will have to stay in the reception area.
