Pupil attendance: civic engagement activities.

Abstract

Existing law authorizes a pupil to be excused from school for specified reasons, including for the purpose of serving as a member of a precinct board for an election. A pupil who is absent from school for these reasons is required to be permitted to complete all assignments and tests missed during the absence that can be reasonably provided. This bill would include civic engagement activities, as defined, offered by a nonprofit organization or a governmental entity among the types of absences that are excused. The bill would prohibit a school from excusing a pupil from school when the absence is due to participation in a demonstration or political campaign.
