**Session Description**
//Truancy and attendance laws exist in order to support graduation rates, but they do not seem to apply to online students. Should online schools ignore the laws? Do we enforce laws that do not seem to apply directly to our students? Do they apply to any students anymore? This session will provide a model of a promising practice that online schools in Minnesota have adopted. Those planning to attend are asked to bring their attendance policy and procedures to share in the discussion.//
