Allowing up to five educational leave days within definition of "excused absence"

Summary

The bill changes the state attendance code so that up to five days of approved educational leave count as excused absences. Parents must provide a note within three days of the student’s return, and the State Board of Education will set rules on what qualifies. Schools can refuse a day if the note does not meet those rules, and certain extracurricular activities are excluded from the existing ten‑day limit.
