Attendance Issues.

A coworker brought it up in office awhile back-"I have a student who was missing for 25 days plus..yet they are still enrolled. How does this look when they get back? This student is going to have 'X' amount of assessments-they can't all get excused."

This has been a recurring issue for ML, as we find that "enrollment in the school depends on the number of classes specifically that student is enrolled to" not to mention that the school is always worried about losing 15k or so when a student drops out-the school needs to prove that they exhausted (literally) all options before being about to expel or dismiss a student (yes, if if the student doesn't want to be there).

There are many other cards at play with a million other speculations but the purpose of this quick discussion/resource is the following,

When is missed class a missed class and when is it just-too far into truancy?
