School administrators frequently recommend that school boards adopt a strict attendance policy for high school seniors. The policy requires high school seniors to limit their absences in the last month of school in order to be eligible for participation in the graduation ceremonies. Some school board members support the policy because they believe it encourages seniors to attend school regularly and to act appropriately at the graduation exercises. Other school board members do not support the policy because they think it interferes with parents’ prerogatives and with students’ opportunities to visit colleges. In your view, should school boards adopt a strict attendance policy for high school seniors?

School administrators frequently recommend that school boards
adopt a strict attendance policy for high school seniors. The policy requires
high school seniors to limit their absences in the last month of school in order
to be eligible for participation in the graduation ceremonies. Some school board
members support the policy because they believe it encourages seniors to attend
school regularly and to act appropriately at the graduation exercises. Other
school board members do not support the policy because they think it interferes
with parents’ prerogatives and with students’ opportunities to visit colleges.
