Section 701-3.0 - Accounting for Students Not in Attendance the Last Ten Days in September

3.1 For students not in attendance at school during the last 10 school days of September during which students are required to be in attendance, the following information shall be on file to substantiate their inclusion in the enrollment count:

3.1.1 Reason for absence, usually medical, and date of last direct contact with student or parent.

3.1.2 Reason to believe that student will be returning to school prior to November 1.

3.1.3 District and charter schools enrolling an intra-state transfer student during the last 10 school days of September during which students are required to be in attendance shall first determine if the student is currently obligated under a choice agreement or first-year charter agreement before enrolling the student. If an agreement exists, "good cause" pursuant to 14 Del.C. § 402 and § 506(d) respectively must be determined before the receiving district or charter school can enroll the student. District and charter schools enrolling an in state transfer student during the last 10 school days of September shall notify the student's previous district or charter school of such enrollment no later than the last student attendance day of September. The notification shall be by electronic submission via email with a follow up letter to the previous district or charter school's unit count coordinator's office. The notification shall be clearly labeled Unit Count Transfer Students and include the student's name, grade, and previous school of attendance. A student enrolling with a formal notice of withdrawal from the previous district or charter school is exempted from this notification requirement. Failure to follow the notification procedure may result in including the same student in two different district or charter school enrollments and hence unit counts. If that occurs, the student will be disallowed from the receiving district or charter school's enrollment and unit count. Copies of the electronic submission via email and follow up letters shall be on file to substantiate the student's inclusion in the receiving district or charter school's enrollment and unit count.
