Quote, paraphrase, and citation # 3

"There is no state law or State Board of Education rule that details how schools should deal with less than prompt students. Carol Lear, director of law and legislation at the State Office of Education, said there is a state legal precedent that discourages schools from tying attendance to an academic grades. That means students who do well in a class shouldn't have their tardies in that class count against their grade without a way for them to make it up." What this principle is trying to say is that the people from thier district didnt say how to handle thier tardies. So basically what he is trying to say is that he can do whatever to deal with the tardies to his school.
