Parents have the primary responsibility for seeing their children attend school regularly.
The Los Nietos School District has implemented a school attendance accounting system to ensure that all students are either attending class or on a legally excused absence. Because of the complexity of any accounting system and the attendance laws, some students might not attend for the full minimum school day while being credited for attendance. Student absentees are monitored regularly and parents are encouraged to notify the office staff if students are to miss school. This total includes funding for all areas of the district operation and includes general funds, special education funds, special projects and lottery funds. The Los Nietos District Budget's largest expenditure is in the area of employee salaries and fringe benefits.
