Schools are also paid for students who come to school but leave early with valid excuses. Many efforts are made at King Avenue to keep children in school and follow up on the few children who are having trouble coming to school. Teachers conference with parents about their children s attendance. Families where children had severe attendance problems were referred to the Sutter County School Attendance Review Board. The District is able to provide quality substitute teachers for illnesses and personal necessity.
All substitutes meet the minimum necessary qualifications.
At times the local pool of available substitutes is small. The District continuously works on methods to increase the number of available substitute teachers who are certified. Substitutes are provided a handbook of procedures as well as written lesson plans in order to assure program continuity. The Special Education teacher and aide provide consultation in the regular classroom. Instructional aides and volunteer parents worked with small student groups under the supervision of teachers.
