Thanks to a worse than normal flu season with the introduction of the novel H1N1 flu, Raleigh County Schools has amended its attendance policy for the 2009-2010 school year.
Every Raleigh County Schools student will be given ten additional excused absences, or five additional excused absences per semester, in 2009-2010.
At the end of the fiscal year, the school district will revert back to its old policy, Raleigh County Schools Director of Secondary Education Nelson Spencer said.
