§ 25.092. MINIMUM ATTENDANCE FOR CLASS CREDIT. (a)
Except as provided by this section, a student may not be given
credit for a class unless the student is in attendance for at least
90 percent of the days the class is offered.
(b) The board of trustees of each school district shall
appoint one or more attendance committees to hear petitions for
class credit by students who are in attendance fewer than the number
of days required under Subsection (a). Classroom teachers shall
comprise a majority of the membership of the committee. A committee
may give class credit to a student because of extenuating
circumstances. Each board of trustees shall establish guidelines
to determine what constitutes extenuating circumstances and shall
adopt policies establishing alternative ways for students to make
up work or regain credit lost because of absences. The alternative
ways must include at least one option that does not require a
student to pay a fee authorized under Section 11.158(a)(15). A
certified public school employee may not be assigned additional
instructional duties as a result of this section outside of the
regular workday unless the employee is compensated for the duties
at a reasonable rate of pay.
(c) A member of an attendance committee is not personally
liable for any act or omission arising out of duties as a member of
an attendance committee.
