New law addresses student absences for work events

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law Monday that allows students attending work-based learning events like 4-H and FFA programs to count program participation towards school attendance.

The bill amends the Illinois School Code to allow students who miss traditional classroom days for events in work-based learning programs to have those events counted towards overall school attendance. The student’s parent or legal guardian is responsible for obtaining assignments missed while the student was participating in an eligible program.
