What is the Becca bill?

Answer 1

Answer

The "Becca Bill" is a bill passed in 1995 that, among other things, sets the mandatory maximum of absences from school to 10 per semester. Students with more than 10 absences will result in a failing grade in the corresponding class.

I don't know if it is part of the law, or just most schools' policy, but 3 tardies equal an unexcused absence. Also, if the student arrives 10 minutes or more to class, it is considered an unexcused absence.
