Permits excused absences for students who attend civic events.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A1271) allows public school students in grades 6-12 to have one excused absence per school year to attend approved civic events. It defines "civic events" as those sponsored by government, community organizations, or nonprofits addressing public concerns like health, safety, or environmental issues. Students must have parental written notice at least five school days in advance, and school districts must provide guidance on qualifying events. The law specifies that transcripts and attendance records must not list these absences as excused.
