In our district, being sick with a doctors note doesn’t matter. Excused absences are still counted as absences.

Last year, my kid broke his arm (missed one day), got covid, got the flu and missed one other day (…the day after he had been assaulted by another kid in class) and the school still gave me problems. Only one absence didn’t have a note and I think the total was like 12 days.

I don’t know what to do. I can’t send him sick but keeping him home is an issue.
