Schools should be able to view the attendance record of a student from a previous school just as they can view the discipline and the grades
The grades and discipline of the student are part of their record that follows them from building to building. However, attendance currently does not work the same way. The focus on truancy and chronic absenteeism make it mandatory to monitor for the year without having ease of access to attendance as they do the grades and discipline.

Yes... we have had instances of students transferring to another school in the district, and the attendance letters do not generate when they reach a certain level because their attendance did not transfer over.
