Question: How should k-12 administrators plan for absenteeism during COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: K-12 Schools and Child Care Programs
section_headers: Administrators
Planning and Responding to COVID-19
What should I consider as I plan and prepare for COVID-19?
section_content: Administrators should always reinforce healthy practices among their staff and
students, as well as prepare for a potential case of COVID-19, regardless of
the current level of community transmission.
As you create and update your preparedness plans, work with your local health
officials to determine the most appropriate plan and actions for your school
or program. Together, you will need to consider your local community
situation—whether you have local transmission in your community, and if so,
the level of transmission (none/minimal, minimal to moderate, substantial).
CDC has created overall guidance, as well as guidance tailored for
transmission level in your area to help child care programs, schools, and
their partners understand how to help prevent COVID-19 and react quickly when
a case is identified. The guidance includes information about the following:

How to prepare if you have no community spread of COVID-19.
How to prepare if you have minimal to moderate community spread in your community.
How to prepare if you have substantial community spread in your community.
What to do if a person with COVID-19 has entered your school.

See CDC’s full interim guidance for more
details.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This doesn't answer the question about how to plan for absenteeism. It just tells you that you need to develop a plan and gives a link to some CDC guidelines.
This doesn't really address the question directly. It talks about healthy practices that schools can implement but doesn't talk about expected absenteeism which is what the question was asking

Answer passage (source: CDC):

section_headers: Dismissals
When should I dismiss our school/child care program?
section_content: Any decision about school dismissal or cancellation of school events should be
made in coordination with your local health officials. Schools are not
expected to make decisions about dismissals on their own.
You may need to temporarily dismiss school for 2-5 days, if a student or staff
member attended school before being confirmed as having COVID-19. This initial
short-term dismissal allows time for the local health officials to gain a
better understanding of the COVID-19 situation impacting the school and for
custodial staff to clean and disinfect the affected facilities. Work with the
local health officials to determine appropriate next steps, including whether
an extended dismissal duration is needed to stop or slow further spread of
COVID-19.
If there is substantial transmission in the local community, local health
officials may suggest extended school dismissalspdf iconpdf

term, and likely broader-reaching, dismissal strategy is intended to slow
transmission rates of COVID-19 in the community.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
I think this does a good job of talking about some of the absenteeism and closures that teachers and administrators can expect when school begins. There's also a link regarding school dismissal in here.
This gives some concrete tips on how long to dismiss school depending on various circumstances, and gives a link to more information about how to plan for extended school dismissal.

What should I do if my school experiences increased rates of absenteeism?
section_content: If your school notices a substantial increase in the number of students or
staff missing school due to illness, report this to your local health
officials.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This doesn't answer the question about how to plan for school dismissal, it just tells you to report to your health officials if you notice any spread.
This just gives advice on what you should do if you see increased absenteeism but doesn't really address anything directly
