Each North Carolina non-public school establishes its own policies and procedures for handling excessive student absence and tardiness situations and usually distributes a published copy of them annually to each school family.
The document specifies the maximum number of days (or times) a student may be absent (or tardy) during any given school year. The publication should also state what will happen to the student should he/she exceed the maximum number of absences or tardies allowed by the school.
It would usually state that the student may be permanently expelled from the school once the maximum permissible number of days or tardies have been reached.
Once the student has been expelled, the North Carolina non-public school then reports the student expulsion directly to local public school compulsory attendance enforcement officials for their immediate follow-up.
Please note that local compulsory attendance authorities will normally not handle excessive student absence or tardy situations until after the student is no longer enrolled in the North Carolina non-public school.
