CHARLOTTE — Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is changing its automatic F attendance policy, The Charlotte Observer reported.
[ CMS approves changes impacting several students ]
The district has had the old policy in place since 1970.
Starting this semester, students no longer need to make up missed time to pass a class.
“Previously, if a CMS student missed 11 or more class periods, did not make up missed time or have a medical waiver, he or she would receive an automatic F in the course under the district’s Attendance Recovery Regulation,” the Observer reported.
The Charlotte Observer reported the change aligns with state rules.
