ATTENDANCE

It is well establishedthatfaithfulandregularattendanceinschoolisrelatedtostudentprogressandachievement. Inorderforyourchildtodo hisorherverybest,itisimportantthathe/shebeinschoolasmanydaysaspossible.

Since September 1998, a new law (SB727) has been in e ect, which changes how schools receive funding for attendance. School fundingis now based on actual attendance of students and funding will no longer be given for excused absences. The new law is intended to increase studentattendance.

For both educational and  nancial reasons, we need your help in making sure your child has good attendance. There are times when it is necessary for a child to miss school. For example, we do not recommend that a child come to school if he/she is ill or could spread his/her illnesstoothers. Weneedyourhelpinminimizingallotherabsences.

Please note that parents are required to clear absences. Underthenewlaw,schoolsmustcontinuetotrackallabsencesandreportthemtothe state.

STUDENT'S RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES—RIGHTS AND REGULATIONS - The laws of the State of California and the Policy of the Governing Board recognize the rights of students to exercise therighttofreedomofexpression. ThefollowingDistrictrulesare established to ensure this right is granted to all students. The Principal of each school shall designate a person (Deputy Principal, Learning Director, or other certi cated sta  member) to review materials and exercise administrative responsibilities as required by this policy.

The Governing Board of the Clovis Uni ed School District, in support of the aims of public education, believes that the behavior of the students attending public school shall re ect standards of good citizenship demanded of members of a democratic society. Self-discipline (responsibility for one's own actions) is one of the important ultimate goals of education.

Students are expected to observe high standards of good conduct, to have respect for the property of others, and to comply with the regulations of the school. Failure to observe these rules can result in con scation of materials, curtailment of privileges, or when necessary, disciplinary action, including suspension and/or recommendation for expulsion.

Each student is representative of the school wherever he/she may be regardless of the environment. Our student body prides itself on good sportsmanship, good morals and good manners at all times.

The following is an overview of the categorical funding and programs in CUSD. These funds are further discussed and outlined in each school’s SPSA and at the committee meetings.

Rationale

General District funds provide support for the District’s base/core curriculum program.

Some come from economically disadvantagedhomes;someareeducationallydisadvantagedorlackEnglishlanguagepro ciencybecausetheyhaveaprimarylanguage other than English. Children, such as those described above, require supplemental services and materials not generally provided through the base/core curriculum program. The needs of our children are identi ed, and supplemental services and materials are planned and targeted to meet their special needs. Categorical funds are to be used to provide the  nancial support to meet these specialneeds.

Philosophy

Categorical funds are designed to support additional assistance to help students succeed in the regular classroom program (base/ core curriculum) and address any learning gaps. The focus is on the e ective utilization of supplementary materials, personnel, and sta development.
