Each school district board may establish student grading policies that permit teachers to consider a students attendance in determining the students grade or deciding whether the student should be granted or denied credit. A students attendance shall not be the sole criterion for the reduction of a students grade. Such policies shall provide that prior to reduction of grade or denial of credit: (1) The teacher identifies how the students attendance and participation in class is related to the instructional goals of the particular subject or course and gives notice to the student and parents or guardian of the student. (2) Procedures are in effect to ensure due process when the grade is reduced or credit is denied for attendance rather than academic reasons. (3) The reasons for the nonattendance are considered and the grade is not reduced or credit is not denied based on absences due to: (a) Religious reasons; (b) A students disability; or (c) An excused absence as determined by the policy of the school district or as provided by ORS 339.065.
