Re: trauncy in philadelphia
To some degree this issue is based upon the Philadelphia School Districts policies. In general, once you have a certain amount of consecutive absences, you need a physician's note in order to receive an excused absence. Also any note to excuse an absence must be turned in within a short period of time (e.g. 3 days) after the absence or the absence is unexcused. Any school work missed during an absence (excused or unexcused) must be made up.
