The primary responsibility for recording attendance shall be assigned
to the homeroom teacher in the secondary schools and to the classroom
teacher in the elementary schools under the supervision of the
building principal or designee and upon forms prescribed by the

Superintendent shall include an attendance report as a section of the
annual report to the Board and may report attendance problems to the
Board at other times, as he/she deems necessary.
District personnel are to follow the state
guidelines regarding pupil attendance accounting and reporting. The
district's staff are to cooperate with attendance officers and law

The building principal is responsible for keeping
accurate records of all students who move or leave the school. The
individual record shall include the student's name; birth date; grade;
reason for leaving; where the student moved or transferred; and
whether or not a school transcript was requested or sent. These
records shall be compiled each school year on a district-wide basis by
