Welcome to the Administrators' group
After school remediation or tutoring programs for homeless students.
I am looking for a tutoring or remedial program for students who are classified as homeless. I found out today that Title 1 funds are available for this program and need to have something in place soon. Any suggestions or resourses would be greatly appreciated.
Excessive school-related absences
Does anyone have a good solution or policy dealing with the excessive amount of times students are missing from school during the spring due to athletics, field trips, etc?

Attendance Policies
In light of the cohort graduation rate, are any schools eliminating attendance policies that deny credit due to a certain amount of absences?

MDE wants to know...Do you have or know of any successful programs for 9th graders focused on drop out prevention?
If so, please identify the school/program and give a brief description of your model. MASSP will pass the information along to MDE. (See related story in Featured News)
What schools out there have a Guided Academics class or similar type of intervention class?
How do students get selected for the class? What curriculum do you use for it?
Senior Debt Collection
Does anyone have policy on senior debt collection? Do you or are you able to withold their ability to attend things like Prom or other after school activities?
I am curious if any schools have or are planning to implement a policy regarding energy drinks?
We have several parents/board members that have voiced concerns about kids drinking monster drinks and the potential for health problems.
What is the proper protocol during graduation for a student who has passed away?
We have a student who, as a kindergartner, was hit by one of our school buses and killed. 2008 was her graduating date and we are honoring her during the ceremony. We have an empty chair for her in the row and we are presenting the family with an honorary diploma. Also, her picture will be part of our slide show before graduation begins.
What I am looking for is any protocal or procedures anyone has used for such presentations in the past.
Does your school district require the high school students to take the ACT/MME as a graduation requirement.
How many high schools require their students to take the state assessment, currently the ACT/MME, as a graduation requirement and has that it caused any problems?
Is there any interest in the Teacher Cadet curriculum training to be hosted in Michigan?
Saginaw Valley State University holds the site licence to host the Teacher Cadet training for the South Carolina Teached Cadet curriculum. We are interested in starting a program and I am looking for other districts that might be interested in the training at SVSU. They would like around 28 participants to host a training. Please let me know if you are interested in the Teacher Cadet Training Program.

Have their been any changes in the last year or so to attendence policies per Public Act(s)? If so, do you know the P.A. number
It is my understanding that the State is moving away from demanding "seat time" and absences/tardies will not be able to affect a student's academic performance directly. Is this true? If so, can you direct me to some more information?
