FOREWORD

This bulletin was designed to provide assistance to school ad-
ministrators, teachers and others in their efforts to administer legis-
lative enactments and regulations of the State Board of Education
concerning pupil accounting in Kentucky. You will notice that special
emphasis has been placed on the Teacher’s Register of Attendance in
Kentucky Schools; however, the bulletin in no way changes any of
the instructions in the Teacher’s Register.

Pupil accounting records have always been important to the pupil,
the school district and the state. With the coming of the Foundation
Program the Teacher’s Register assumed added importance.

Teachers and administrators should study the instructions in the
Teacher’s Register from time to time to make sure that all of them
are understood and are being followed. Superintendents and direc-
tors of pupil personnel should have available for reference the perti—

nent State Board of Education Regulations and Kentucky Revised
Statutes.

Your comments and criticisms of pupil accounting procedures
currently in use are invited. It is our desire that this valuable informa-
tion be collected in the most feasible, yet accurate manner possible.
Your continued cooperation in this vital area is necessary to achieve

this goal.

Mr. Lee Tyler, Supervisor of Pupil Accounting, Division of
RECOrds and Reports, Department of Education, prepared the manu—
script for this Bulletin.

CHAPTER I

Teacher’s Re ister of Attendance
g

A. Use of Teacher’s Register

1. Uniform System

So that a uniform system of recording and reporting attendance
may be maintained, the State Board of Education provides a
Teacher’s Register of Attendance for Kentucky Schools. This
Teacher’s Register shall be the original record of attendance
data for all pupils in the schools of Kentucky. Further
since the teacher is the individual who compiles the original
attendance for the pupil, then the teacher shall maintain the
Teacher’s Register.

Record systems in which all Teacher’s Registers are kept in the
principal’s office or in some other office and maintained by a
person or persons other than the classroom teachers are not
in keeping with State Board Regulations since under these
systems the Teacher’s Register cannot be the original source
of attendance data.

. Elementary Schools

Using the Teacher’s Register presents no complications in the
elementary schools of the state. Because the pupils remain
with the same teacher for all or almost all of the school day,
the classroom teacher maintains a record of each pupil’s
attendance in the Teacher’s Register.

. Secondary Schools

Some minor problems occur in the use of the Teacher’s
Register in the secondary schools where pupils move from
teacher to teacher during the course of a day’s activity. A
common practice in secondary schools in using the Teacher’s
Register as the original source of attendance data (see part 4)
is outlined below:

a. Each pupil is assigned to a home room class which meets
at the beginning of each morning session. A home room
teacher is assigned to each home room class.

1). The teacher so assigned maintains a Teacher’s Register for
the pupils assigned to her home room class.

705

 

 

 

 

 

  

c. The teacher checks the attendance of pupils at the home
room period, making proper notation in the Teacher’s
Register.

d. The absence reports from the various home rooms are
compiled in the principal’s office and a master list of
absentees is duplicated and distributed to all teachers
before the end of the first class period.

e. Each teacher checks the attendance of her classes during
the day and compares the attendance in each class with
the names listed on the master list of absentees.

f. Prior to the close of school, each teacher reports to the
principal’s office deviations in attendance in her classes
from the master list of absentees including those absent at
the home room period who came to school during the day
and those present in the morning who left during the day.

g. A summary of changes in the attendance of pupils from
that reported by the home room teacher at the home room
period is sent to each home room teacher who makes the
necessary additional notations in the Teacher’s Register
for tardiness and half-day absences.

h. When the above method is used in a school, the duplicated
absentee lists should be filed for audit.

. Original Source of Data (SBE 28.050 (4))

“The Teacher’s Register of Attendance shall be the original
source of attendance data for all pupils enrolled in the public
elementary and secondary schools of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky and shall be maintained in accordance with the
instructions which appear in the Teacher’s Register of At-
tendance.”

B. Attendance
1. Determining Attendance (SBE 28.050)

Due to the importance of the proper recording of pupil at-
tendance, the pertinent State Board of Education Regulatlon
is given:

(1) “The daily attendance of pupils shall be determined'by
recording their attendance immediately following the Opemng
of school in the morning and immediately following the lunch
period in the afternoon. Pupils not present at these sessrons

shall not be counted in attendance in determining average
daily attendance unless:
(a) the pupils are absent as participants in school activi-
ties which have been authorized by the Board of Edu-
cation and which are a definite part of the instructional
program of the school or
(b) the pupils are absent as participants in activities
which are designated by the Kentucky Revised Statutes
for attendance credit. Pupils may not be counted in
attendance when they are absent as spectators at school
activities.”
(2) “Pupils may not be counted in attendance unless they are
physically present in the school. They shall be counted absent
although such absence is due to factors beyond their control
such as inclement weather or failure of the transportation sys-
tem to operate.”

(3) “No pupil shall be allowed to make up absence for the
purpose of counting such make-up activities in computing
average daily attendance.”

Participation in 4-H Activities To Be Considered Attendance
(KBS 159.035)

“Anything in the statutes of the Commonwealth to the contrary
notwithstanding, all pupils in the schools of the state who are
enrolled in a properly organized 4-H Club shall be considered
present at school for all purposes when participating in regu-
larly scheduled 4—H Club educational activities, provided, the
student is accompanied by or under the supervision of a county
extension agent or the designated 4—H Club leader for the 4-H

Club educational activity participated in.” (effective June 16,
1960)

Attendance Recorded in Whole Days and Half Days
Attendance shall be recorded in whole days and half days and
no other fractional part of a school day shall be used. Attend—
ance is denoted by recording the absences of pupils as they
occur. Absences are to be recorded numerically, that is, an
absence of one day is recorded by placing the numeral “1”
in the space under the correct date opposite the pupil’s name.
An absence of one—half day is recorded by placing the fraction
“V2” in the appropriate space.

An alternate procedure that may be followed is to divide the

707

 

 

 

 

  

square into two parts by drawing a diagonal line from upper
right to lower left. The upper half of the square is then used
for the morning session and the lower half for the afternoon
session. Absence at either or both sessions is indicated by
placing the number “1” in either or both halves of the space.
In using this procedure, the diagonal is drawn only when the
pupil is absent.

. Determining Attendance in Vocational Schools

A pupil who is enrolled in a public secondary school and who
attends one of the Area Vocational Schools will be given
credit for his attendance in the Teacher’s Register of the home
room teacher. During the school month the home room
teacher will record his attendance for the half days he is
present in the regular school and the Vocational School prin-
cipal will record his attendance for the half days he is
present at the Vocational School. At the end of the school
month, the attendance report from the Vocational School
will be sent to the principal of the high school, who will
pass the report to all home room teachers of Vocational
pupils. The home room teachers will transfer the Vocational
pupils’ attendance records from this report to their Teacher’s
Registers at the close of each school month.

C. Foundation Program
1. Classroom Unit

The Foundation Program bases most classroom units on an
average daily attendance of twenty-seven pupils. This Was
obtained from the expectation of ninety per cent attendance
of a membership of thirty pupils. Thus, the Foundation Pro-
gram recognizes that there will be absences from school for
valid reasons. However, the validity or worthwhileness of a
reason for absence from school does not constitute a basis for
recording a pupil as present. As previously stated, absent
pupils must be participating in a school activity related to the
instructional program if they are to be recorded present-
School administrators should consider each activity carefully
before deciding that such activity is one for which pupils
should be recorded in attendance.

D. School Term

school days, except as provided in KRS 157. 850 and 158 070”
“A school te1m of 185 days shall consist of nine twenty— day
school months and one pa1tial school month of five days.
Schools shall be in sess10n on each of these days excepting days
on which schools are dismissed to observe holidays or for
teachers to attend professional meetings within limits of SBE
28.040.”

. Holidays (SBE 23.040 (1))

“Boa1ds of Education may dismiss schools not mo1e than four
days in a 185 day school term to obselve holidays designated

by the local b0a1d of education.” This regulation has been

interpreted to mean any four days within the school term

‘ . Professional Days (SBE 23.040 (2) )

“Boards may dismiss schools for teachers to attend the annual
meetings of the Kentucky Education Association, the district
association of the Kentucky Education Association, or planned
educational conferences called by the local superintendent.
These local educational conferences may include sessions de—
voted to organization or completion of records. The number of
days so dismissed when combined with days dismissed to
observe holidays shall not exceed ten days in a 185 day school
term.”

. In—Service Conference (SBE 23.040 (8))

“Boards of Education which have secured prior approval of a
two-day’s work conference through services of the In—Service
Program of the Department of Education may dismiss schools
two days for such conferences. In such districts, the number
of days dismissed for holidays and for teachers to attend pro-
fessional meetings shall not exceed twelve days in a 185 days’
school term.”

E. School Month
1. Length of School Month

KRS 158.060 defines the school month as twenty days in which
teachers are actually employed in the school room.

- Days Which Constitute School Month (See SBE 28 020 (2), (3 ) )

The Teacher’s Register p1ovides spaces fo1 twenty days in each
school month. These twenty days a1e made up of days school
is in session, days dismissed fo1 holidays during the month, and

709

 

 

 

 

 

  

days dismissed for professional and in—service education meet— I
ings during the month. All other days are omitted from the
Teacher’s Register. The days omitted include Saturdays, Sun- I
days, and days school is dismissed that are neither holidays nor 1
days for meetings. For example, if school is dismissed because l
l
l

I‘.'\

of road conditions, this day is omitted from the Teacher’s
Register since it is not a holiday nor a day for a professional
meeting. Such a day is not counted as a part of the twenty-
day school month. For days on which school is dismissed for
one of the four holidays, one of the two in-service days, or one
of the six professional days, the teacher enters the date of the
1 day in the Teacher’s Register and writes in, vertically, “Holi-
l day,” “In-Service Day,” or the name of the professional day.

3. Monthly Report (SBE 28.020 (4))
“No report shall be made until the completion of a twenty-day
school month except that a report for the tenth school month
shall be made at the conclusion of the school term.” In all
instances, in a 185 day term, the last report will be made for a
five—day period (See detailed instructions for making monthly
reports under part V-D).

l
l
4. Teaching on Saturday (KRS 158.060) ‘
1

m1

“N0 teacher shall teach on Saturdays except in cases of
emergency and then only upon authorization of the State
Board of Education.” When school is taught on Saturdays or
holidays the same regulations governing the number of hours
shall be observed as on any other school day. It is desirable
, that the Superintendent, as the executive officer of the board,
1 communicate with the State Department of Education before ‘
an application is made to teach on Saturday. In no case should ‘
Saturday teaching be permitted until authority to do so has
been approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

. School Day for First Grades (SBE 40.120 (1), (2))

“Any school may reduce the school day for pupils in the first
grade to less than six clock hours, provided the superintendent
of the district requests such reduction.”

“The school day for the first grades shall not be less than
three and one—half clock hours. The request of the super-
intendent for reduction of clock hours for first grade pupils
shall be made on an annual basis prior to the beginning of
the school year and shall be submitted as a part of the in-
structional program of the school district.”

. Double Sessions (SBE 40.120 (8))

“Special request shall be made for districts employing double
sessions or which have a school or schools regularly operating
for less than a six-hour day.” Full credit for average daily
attendance purposes will not be given in schools that are not in
session six hours daily, except, for the first grade pupils under
conditions mentioned above.

. Schools Not To Be Closed or Day Shortened (SBE 28.030 (3),

(4), (5))

“Schools may not be closed except in cases of emergency
beyond the control of the local superintendent.”

“No school or schools may be closed or the day shortened
for any outside activities such as teachers’ conferences, record-
ing of grades, athletic events, or for any other reason.”

“The provisions of this regulation shall apply to all pupils
and the school day for no pupils may be shortened because
of bus schedules or other factors.”

0- Pupil Data

1. Recording Data in the Teacher’s Register

The Teacher’s Register is a comprehensive record of the pupils
enrolled in the public schools of the state. The data gathered
therein comprise essential information necessary not only for
the calculation of Foundation Program allotments but also
for many research projects necessary for the planning that
must be done by responsible local, state, and national school

711

 

 

 

 

  

rn

officials and other community organizations. This record pro.
vides a permanent history of the pupil’s school life to which I
he may return at any time for substantiation of his school pro-
‘ gress. Therefore, it may be said that the Teacher’s Register
l is the most important document to come into the hands of
1 teachers. Teachers shall complete all information requested
in the Teacher’s Register. Since the Teacher’s Register is the
offical record of the pupil’s progress through the school year, I
the record must be complete.

Each teacher should read and study the general and detailed
instructions contained in the Teacher’s Register. The teacher
should consult her principal or director of pupil personnel
freely to aid her in understanding the requirements of the
Teacher’s Register. ‘

 

2. Record Information Daily

Recording in the T eacher’s Register should be done daily.
Such practice not only provides for a higher degree of accuracy
but will result in a saving of time and effort. Totaling at the
bottom of the daily columns shall be done daily.

I
l
8. Recording in Ink or Indelible Pencil |
Recording shall be done in ink or indelible pencil. Since this
is a permanent record, bound at the end of the school year, all
1 recording in the Teacher’s Register must be of a permanent ‘
nature. Ball point pens are not to be used because they make
for illegible records. ' j

H. Transported Pupils
i 1. Code Tl—Teacher’s Register (See KRS 157.370) l

1 Pupils who live one mile or more from school by the nearest
traveled road and who are transported at public expense are to
be counted as transported and placed in column (T1) in the l
Teacher’s Register. Handicapped children who are transported 1
at public expense and who live less than one mile from schOOl
are to be counted as transported (Tl’s).

2. Code T2—Teacher’s Register ‘

3. Determining Distance

In determining whether or not a pupil lives a mile or more
from school, the teacher must assume primary responsibility.
In the event she encounters difficulty, she should confer with
her principal and/0r director of pupil personnel. These offi-
cials should assist the teacher in all possible ways. It would
seem wise to determine the distance of one mile from school
on all roads and combinations of roads that pupils travel in
coming to school. This could be accomplished by use of the
mileage indicator on the speedometer of an automobile by the
teacher, principal, or director of pupil personnel. Once this
point is established for a given road, the pupils who live be-
tween the school and the one-mile point on that road are to
be counted in code (T2) in the Teacher’s Register provided
they are transported at public expense. Otherwise, they are
to be classified as non-transported. Pupils who live beyond the
one-mile point on that road are to be classified as Tl’s if they
are transported at public expense.

. Explanation of “Transported at Public Expense”

In determining whether or not a pupil is transported at public
expense, the pupils normal pattern of coming to school and
returning home should be used as the basis. If the pupil nor-
mally rides the school bus both ways but occasionally uses
other means to reach school or home, he should be considered
as transported at public expense. If the pupil normally pro-
vides his own means of coming to school and returning home
but occasionally rides the school bus, he should be considered
as a non-transported pupil regardless of place of residence.
In the event it is the pupil’s normal pattern to ride the school
bus to school but to go home by some other means (or come
to school by private conveyance but ride the school bus home)
he should be considered as transported at public expense half-
time. This would be shown in the Teacher’s Register by
recording half of the pupils aggregate days attendance for
the school month in either the (T1 or T2) column (determined
by the distance he lives from school) and half of his aggregate
days attendance for the school month in the “Non-Transported”
column of the monthly totals.

. Change of Pupil’s Status

It should be noted that the record in the Teacher’s Register
should be changed whenever a change in the pupils status

713

 

 

 

 

 

  

occurs. For example, if a pupil who is transported at public
expense moves from a place of residence more than a mile
from school to a place of residence near the school and walks to
school, his record should be changed to that of a non-
transported pupil effective the date of the moving.

The indentification number of the pupil in the Teacher’s
Register should be marked in pencil if the pupil is transported.
If the pupil ceases to be transported, the circle should be
erased.

. Illustrations

The following illustrations are given as examples of the
classifications that should be made in certain instances:

(1) Pupil A rides the school bus one and three-tenths
miles each way. He lives eight-tenths mile from
school by the nearest traveled road.

Classification: Pupil is coded (T2). The distance the
pupil rides the school bus is not a factor. He must
live a mile or more from school by the nearest
traveled road in order to be classified as (T1) in the
Teacher’s Register.

(2) Pupil B lives more than one mile from school by the
nearest traveled road. He walks part of the way and
then rides the school bus for the remaining nine-
