Authorizing limited excused absences for civic activities.

Summary

The bill lets school districts treat certain student activities—state‑approved search and rescue work and civic‑engagement events—as excused absences when specific conditions are met. It caps search‑and‑rescue absences at five days per year and civic‑engagement absences at one day per academic term, requiring parental approval and a prior request. This aims to support student participation in community and democratic processes without harming academic progress.
