The attendance policy outlined in this document succeeded in increasing attendance in Napa High School, California. The program focused on student absences due to truancy, not illness, although many of the illness absences reported were due to other, not-so-legitimate causes. The attendance program utilized a direct relationship between the earning of credit and the student's attendance. Communication between parents and the school was emphasized. Evaluation of the program indicated that while students were less than satisfied with the policy, parents and faculty members were generally favorably disposed to it. The program resulted in about a 4.6 percent absentee rate for the spring semester, 1976. (Author/DS)
