Kindergarten students are included. They must abide with the attendance policy if they are enrolled in school 15

16. Attendance + Grades=Success
Why does this law exist?
Attendance + Grades=Success
School attendance is the strongest predictor of High School Graduation.
A high school graduate will earn about $300,000 more than a high school dropout over their lifetime. A college graduate will earn about $1,000,000 more than a high school dropout over a lifetime.
The attendance law exists back in the 18 or 1900’s to protect children from being exploited, cut back on delinquency. 16
