§ 46390 Emergency School Closure Attendance

Key Takeaways

  • •If a school has to close early because of a health order, fire, flood, bad roads, sickness, or another emergency, the school still gets credit for the kids who were there.
  • •The school counts how many kids were there on average before it closed and adds that to the total for the whole school district.
  • •This rule helps schools get the right amount of money even if they had to close for a while.

Example

A school closes for two weeks because of a big flood in the area.

The school will count how many kids were coming to school on average before the flood. Then, they add that number to the total count for all the other schools in the district. This way, the school doesn’t lose money just because it had to close for a little while.
