Religious Accommodations for Students

As we close out the current school year, I want to share a reminder that some students may still be preparing to observe religious holidays in the coming weeks. Schools may continue to receive requests for excused absences and opportunities to make up missed work related to these observances. This may be a good time for schools to proactively partner with local counsel and families to ensure procedures for absences related to religious holidays are readily available, clearly communicated, and compliant with students’ rights in the School Code.
