case of audit• A designated staff member runs the Attendance Not
Submitted Report 30 minutes into each period or twice per day minimum
• Administrator holds teachers accountable for entering attendance by 5:00 p.m.

BUL-1292 Attendance Procedures for Elementary and Secondary Schools
Background
Senate Bill (SB) 727 enacted July 1, 1998 reimburses public schools for actual in-seat student attendance. The legislation also omits “apportionment absences,” (regardless of the reason for the absence) as a means of calculating attendance for reimbursement. State law provides that students who attend school during any part of the school day may generate state revenues, so long as they are not marked absent for the entire school day. p. 2
Period-By-Period Attendance Accounting: On July 13, 2004 the LAUSD School Board authorized the Superintendent to restructure the manner in which student attendance is reported and to implement a system of period-by-period reporting at secondary schools. The period-by-period reporting is intended to improve accountability for each individuals student’s attendance, as well as to ensure the accuracy of the District’s actual attendance numbers.
School Organization
The school principal shall meet annually with attendance staff and other related personnel to develop, review and implement school-wide attendance practices consistent with the policies set forth in this bulletin and with Student Attendance Policy Bulletin No. 1287, October 26, 2004.
The principal is responsible for the registration, enrollment and attendance of all students at all schools under his or her supervision.
Every school shall have a formal, written, proactive attendance plan for the improvement of student and staff attendance.
