Attendance Statement
ATTENDANCE STATEMENT
The Beverly Institute will release any student who accumulates ten (10) unexcused
absences within a 90 calendar day period, or five (5) within a calendar month.
Additionally, we will notify the district of each student who is developing a pattern of
non-attendance as determined by the Child Study Team. Shopping trips, pleasure
trips, vacations, truancy, avoidable absences and appointments or other absences,
shall be deemed to be an unexcused absence. Any suspension from the school shall
be an unexcused absence. Any student of compulsory attendance age who has any
absence without a valid reason being given shall be subject, together with the parents
or guardians, to the provisions of Section 1003.27, Florida Statutes.
Students between the ages of 16 and 18 are subject to enforced attendance unless
they and their parents or guardian file a formal intent to terminate school attendance
with The Beverly Institute.
Attendance of pupils for at least 180 days of instruction or the equivalent as provided
by law and regulations of the State Board shall be required except for absence due to
illness or as otherwise provided by law. When a pupil enrolls in The Beverly
Institute, he shall be required to be regular in attendance even though, because of the
pupils age (18), the pupil may not be subject to the required attendance law.
