The bell rings and you notice empty desks in the classroom. What steps can you take to improve students’ attendance? This is just one question the workshop aims to answer. It will also cover what constitutes excused absences and how to address tardiness. Sandra L. Jacques, LEGAL ONE Supervisor of Legal Research and Content Development, along with Joan Geraci, Direct of Special Projects- Gloucester County Special Services School District, will guide participants in understanding residency, the court system, required documentation, students’ rights, and legal guardianship.
