When students are absent due to educational disruption, schools provide instructional materials so that students can continue making academic progress. For students in interim placements, the school may instead execute an Academic Programming Agreement and accept credits and work from the interim placement once the student returns to school.
Students experiencing educational disruption should have a current School Work Recognition Plan in place that outlines how they will be able to stay on track toward their learning goals. For students aged 16-20, the School Work Recognition Plan must include a description of what the student must do in order to qualify for high school graduation.
