REGULATIONS.

GOOD-ATTENDANCE CERTIFICATES.

1. At every public school certificates to be called “good-attendance certificates” shall be obtainable by all children of school age attending such school who, for a period of twelve months in any year ending 31st December, have not been absent from school more than five times in all when the school was open, the morning and afternoon attendances being reckoned separately: Provided that when a child is absent on an “excepted half-day,” as defined by the Regulations for Attendance Registers and Returns, such absence shall not be counted for the purpose of these regulations.

2. Nothing in the preceding clause shall preclude the award of a good-attendance certificate to a child who during the year has been transferred from one public school to another, whether these schools are in the same education district or not, provided that it is shown that the total number of times the child is absent from school, including the school days between the last attendance at one school and the first attendance at the other, does not exceed five.

3. Whenever any child attending a public school has been absent from such school by reason only of the observance of any fast or other day set apart for strict religious observance by the religious body of which such child is a member, such absence shall not be counted against him when the award of good-attendance certificates is being considered. But in each such case satisfactory evidence shall be given by the parent or guardian of such child that the child was absent only for the cause above mentioned, and that the day of such absence was set apart for strict observance by such religious body.

4. Good-attendance certificates shall be issued by the School Committees, and shall be in the form provided by the Department.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
