HB410 Documentation
Check the task list after each
release. New features will be
included. The change log at the
beginning of the doc will make
you aware of the most recent
changes
Intervention Plan

HB410 – Create Intervention
HB410 – Intervention Plan
Link from School Absences to Student Absence Intervention Page

HB410 – Absence Intervention
HB410-Absence Intervention
• Once a plan is created, it remains open for the rest of the school year
• Intervention Plans cannot be deleted
• The Status at the top of the plan is ‘Open’ when the plan is created but may be changed to ‘Completed’ or ‘Cancelled’
• Plans are specific to the school year – if a plan carriesover to the next school year, create a plan in the nextschool year
HB410 – Absence Intervention
• Parent Involvement
• Judicial Contact
HB410 – ABSENCE INTERVENTION
New Features
HB410 Updates
• Updates made to accommodate students attending multiple buildings at the same time
– Current calculation doesn’t handle them properly
– No way to know how much time a student spends in each building
– Results in too much time calculated for the student
HB410 Updates
New page developed to specify Calendar percentages for students
HB410 Updates
• Script in 17.3.1 release initially populates table for any student enrolled in two or more buildings in the same district
• Records added initially with 50% in each building
• Manual adjustments may be made to correct the FTE for each building
• When student withdraws from a building, withdrawal date added to Percentage record
• Attendance calculated for the percent of time spent in each building
HB410 Updates
Example #1: Student spends 50% of time in two different buildings each dayStudent Calendar Assignments:
Promoted from last year in Choffin (7/1/17 – 9/4/17)
Choffin: 9/5/17 – 5/31/18
Chaney : 9/5/2017 – 5/25/18
New Attendance Percentage Table entries:
HB410 Updates
Example #2: Student Starts the school year attending one building. On November 5th, student also enrolls in another building in the district
HB410 Updates
Example #3: Student starts the school year in one building, enrolls in another on November 5th while still attending his original building, then withdraws from building B May 15th but remains enrolled in building A
HB410 Updates
Example #4: Student is enrolled in one building but attends another full time (ex: districts with a JVS building within the district)
HB410 Updates
Example #5: Student is only enrolled in one building in the district
HB410 Scenarios
CCP Student Attends Elsewhere Full-Time
• Students who attend CCP Full time elsewhere (taking CCP courses taught at another location) are to be counted for EMIS attendance as present 100% of the time.
• Since they are attending full time elsewhere, they should be set up as follows:
– Student may be assigned to any calendar, not the non-attending calendar. Since the student’s FTE is zero, and the student is coded as attending elsewhere full time as CCP, attendance will be calculated for the student as if he is attending AND was present 100% of the days he is enrolled.
CCP Student Attends Elsewhere Part Time
• Students who attend CCP Part Time elsewhere (taking CCP courses taught at another location part time) are to be counted for EMIS attendance as present for the time they are attending elsewhere and in attendance or absent according to attendance taken at the district for the time the student is being educated by the district. For this student, following these guidelines:
– Student should have an FTE greater than zero AND less than 100% on their FS record
– Student may be assigned to any attending calendar
– Absences for the time the student should be in attendance at the district should be entered as Partial Absences AND should contain both a start time and a stop time. This will ensure that the exact amount of hours is calculated for each absence.
CCP Student Attends district part-time & CCP part-time within the district
• Students who attend CCP Part time within their own district (CCP courses are offered within their high school
• For these students, since they never leave the building, attendance should be calculated for them as if they are attending the district 100% of time
• Any absences that occur during the time they are attending the CCP classes within the building should be counted the same as any other absence
Attendance for JVS Satellite Students
• A student attends their home district part time and a JVS Satellite, which is housed at their building for the rest of their day
• The student’s FTE is split between the time they are educated by employees of the home district and employees of the JVS
• The student never leaves the building to attend the JVS Satellite classes
• For EMIS reporting, attendance is calculated based on the percent of time educated in the district, however, the district is responsible for the student’s attendance for HB410 for the entire day
• At this time, districts must manually calculate the attendance for the time the students are attending the JVS classes. Enhancements have been submitted to calculate attendance for HB410 purposes for the whole day
Seniors who leave for a portion of the day
We have a district who allows their students to leave school for a portion of the
day that they do not have a class scheduled. When calculating absence time
for a student, should this period of the day be included? If they are not in
attendance for the full day, should their absence hours = 6 or 5.5? If they only
miss a portion of the day and part of the time is during this allowed out of
building period, does that time also get included time also get included?
• If student’s do not have a scheduled class, this time should not count
toward the minimum school year for that student and thus they should have
a reduced calendar. Per your example, these students would have 5.5 of
hours absences instead of 6 hours if they are not in attendance for the full
day. If they miss a portion of the day that they don’t have a scheduled
period, this portion would be reduced
School enters all absences as Unexcused until updated to excused
• If a school enters daily attendance as Unexcused until the student brings in
an excuse, they will have students hit thresholds that may not be accurate.
A student may show as hitting a threshold one day, but the next day, no
longer hitting it because the triggering absence was updated to an excused
absence.
• In 17.3.1, Attupemis will recalculate the HB410 attendance & EMIS
attendance for the district on demand
• Since ODE deletes all records and reloads with each submission, submit FT
Truancy records along with FS records
• For the end of the school year, make sure all absences and all Absence
Intervention plans are updated before the final S Collection submission
Students who hit the threshold for Chronic Absenteeism
• HB410 doesn’t require schools or districts to take any action if a student misses 10% or more of the school year
• When a student misses 10% or more of the school year, they are considered chronically absent
• It is good practice to track and offer proactive and supportive interventions to these students
• The school and district chronic absenteeism rate is currently reported on the Local Report Card
• As we transition to ESSA implementation, chronic absenteeism will be graded and will play a bigger part of the school improvement system
• ODE calculates chronic absenteeism ranges based on the attendance data submitted through EMIS
