Rosenmeier announced changes in his controversial policy on illegal absences: Monday night, but it was hard to tell if the changes would satisfy parents and students. Because' of what was called a mixup, the school board changed its meeting place. Rosenmeier last Tuesday promised students who walked out of class to protest failing grades for two illegal absences that he would make the changes. The changes would excuse some high school students who received the failing grades if they can produce signed notes by their parents by Friday. Rosenmeier, in a written statement to high school students, their parents and to school board members, said that after the notes are received, the failing grade of 50 that was assigned to 32 students will be changed to reflect the actual grades earned.

"It should be emphasized that while notes are apparently not considered important to a number of parents and students, they are required documents that the school district is, by law, required to obtain," said Rosenmeier. In addition, the two-day limitation for bringing in notes after an absence will be eliminated, he said. Instead, the school's attendance office will publish at regular intervals a list of students who have absences not verified by notes, said Rosenmeier. Only about 30 persons attended the meeting, but many were teachers who were recently granted tenure or teachers who were scheduled to give progress reports. A possible reason for the lack of attendance was some confusion over the meeting's venue.

The agenda listed the venue as the Sargent School, the school board's regular meeting place, but the meeting was held at the Rombout Junior High School where teachers of that school were scheduled to give a progress report. School Board President Jack O'Leary apologized for the mixup. In his written statement, Superintendent Rosenmeier said he was willing to make concessions to those students with illegal absences that were sanctioned by their parents such as religious holidays or family vacations. Those students may have their grades restored after producing a note by the Friday deadline and serving two days of central detention for each parent sanctioned illegal absence, said Rosenmeier. However, no concessions would be made for students who were guilty of "skipping school" and "cutting classes." "My decision in regard to students who have verified truancies or verified cuts from class exceeding the limit of two is to retain their failing grades of 50 in any or all subjects applicable," said Rosenmeier.

Some community residents and teachers had expressed their opposition to the superintendent's illegal absence policy at two previous meetings. Tuesday'swalkout included about 50 high school students. At the last two confrontations, Rosenmeier had promised protesters some modifications of the policy and a decision by Monday night's meeting. However, his statement was prepared well in advance of Monday and there were no students nor parents who were affected by the policy at the meeting. LatestNews NOW, Every Morning!
