# 11.02.2026 LJSD Policy Committee

The Lakeland Joint School District 272 Policy Committee discussed revisions to the elementary attendance policy, identified in the meeting as Policy 3050A, with reference to the secondary policy. Proposed edits included adapting language for elementary students, clarifying absence categories and illness-related documentation, and requiring parent or guardian notifications about attendance concerns. The committee also discussed how to handle students below the 90% attendance threshold, attendance plans, escalating responses for repeated violations, and possible referrals to the board to address truancy concerns. Members favored tying the escalating steps to occurrences during the school year and making notifications regular, while acknowledging that the policy language still needed refinement.

No procurement, contract, vendor, budget, or capital-project activity was identified. The transcript records discussion and proposed edits but no formal vote. A follow-up was suggested to confirm when the board last reviewed the policy.
