These Terms & Conditions govern the use of Absenteeism.org. By accessing or using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, you should discontinue use of the website.
Purpose of the website
Absenteeism.org provides educational and informational material concerning school attendance, chronic absenteeism, truancy, state attendance requirements, district information, attendance data, calculators, definitions, and related subjects in the United States.
The website is intended to help users understand publicly available information and perform general attendance-related calculations. It is not a substitute for information provided directly by a school, school district, state education agency, government authority, attorney, healthcare professional, or other qualified professional.
No legal advice
Information concerning compulsory attendance, truancy, excused and unexcused absences, attendance thresholds, credit requirements, penalties, interventions, and similar subjects is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
School attendance laws and policies may differ by state, district, school, grade level, student circumstances, and school year. Laws, regulations, administrative guidance, and local policies may also change.
Users responsible for making legal, educational, disciplinary, enrollment, or attendance decisions should verify applicable requirements with the relevant school, school district, state education agency, statute, regulation, or qualified professional.
Data and statistics
Absenteeism.org may present statistics and other information obtained from government agencies, state education departments, school districts, research organizations, public datasets, reports, and other sources believed to be relevant.
Attendance data may differ between sources because of reporting periods, definitions, student populations, suppression rules, revisions, calculation methods, school-year coverage, or other methodological differences.
A figure displayed on Absenteeism.org should therefore be interpreted together with its stated year, definition, source, and methodology when available.
Calculators and estimates
Calculators and interactive tools on Absenteeism.org provide mathematical estimates based on the information entered by the user and the assumptions described by the tool.
A calculator result does not determine a student’s official attendance record, chronic absenteeism status, truancy status, legal status, course-credit eligibility, promotion status, graduation eligibility, or compliance with a particular school policy.
Official determinations remain subject to the records, definitions, policies, and decisions of the applicable school, district, education agency, or government authority.
Accuracy and availability
Reasonable efforts may be made to provide useful and accurate information, but Absenteeism.org does not warrant that every page, statistic, policy description, calculation, source, or other item will always be complete, current, error-free, or applicable to every situation.
Information can become outdated as laws, policies, datasets, school calendars, reporting practices, and agency publications change.
The website may be modified, corrected, reorganized, suspended, or discontinued in whole or in part without prior notice.
Third-party sources
Absenteeism.org may cite or reference information produced by federal agencies, state agencies, school districts, schools, nonprofit organizations, universities, researchers, and other third parties.
Reference to a third party does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation unless expressly stated.
Absenteeism.org does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security, privacy practices, content, or subsequent changes.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, original website text, organization, branding, graphics, software, tools, and other original materials published by Absenteeism.org are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Public facts, government data, statutes, regulations, and other materials that are not subject to private ownership remain subject to their respective legal status.
You may use the website for lawful personal, educational, research, and informational purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, scrape, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit substantial portions of original Absenteeism.org content or functionality in a manner that violates applicable law or intellectual property rights.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use Absenteeism.org in a manner that interferes with the website, attempts unauthorized access, introduces malicious code, circumvents security measures, overloads technical systems, impersonates another person, or violates applicable law.
Automated access that materially disrupts the website or attempts to extract substantial portions of proprietary website content may be restricted.
No professional relationship
Use of Absenteeism.org does not create an attorney-client, school-family, educational advisory, medical, fiduciary, or other professional relationship between the user and Absenteeism.org.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Absenteeism.org and its operators will not be liable for losses, damages, costs, or consequences arising from reliance on website information, calculator results, third-party information, service interruptions, technical errors, or decisions made based on material appearing on the website.
Users remain responsible for verifying information that may affect a student’s legal rights, attendance status, academic standing, enrollment, discipline, credit, promotion, or graduation.
Changes to these terms
These Terms & Conditions may be revised from time to time. The revision date shown at the top of this page identifies the latest version.
