AI Summary

  • FFA-sanctioned activities and programs are excluded from the 10-day limit on excused absences for West Virginia students, treating these absences the same as educational field trips
  • Students participating in FFA activities must be credited as present by their school and cannot be marked absent by principals
  • FFA agents must provide documentation proving student participation, and students must make up any missed schoolwork without grade penalties for attendance
  • The 10-day excused absence limit still applies to school/county-approved curricular activities and college visits, but no longer includes FFA activities
  • Students who are suspended, expelled, or assigned to alternative schools cannot receive attendance credit for FFA participation during that period
