Absences:
For students in grades K -12, principals shall promptly approve or disapprove any student's absences in excess of ten (10) days, whether those absences are lawful, unlawful, or a combination of the two. Absences in excess of ten (10) days will not be considered excused with a parent/guardian note unless accompanied by official medical documentation or otherwise approved by the principal as a lawful absence.
Truancy:
The state requires students to only attend 170 of the 180-day school year, parents and students should be aware that SC Code of Regulations - Chapter 43-274 stipulates that a child ages 6 to 17 years of age is considered truant when the child has three consecutive unlawful absences or a total of five unlawful absences.
