Nevada wants to boost school attendance rates. Parents say inconsistent rules work against that

Nevada schools have pledged to boost attendance, but parents in Clark County say they are frustrated with inconsistent attendance policies. Many have complained about errors like incorrect absences and lost doctors’ notes. The Nevada Independent reports that these issues are damaging trust in school districts. Clark County schools say they are committed to accurate attendance reporting and have systems to monitor errors. However, parents feel disengaged due to the lack of consistency. Some schools have detailed absence forms, while others do not. Experts suggest more regular data collection could help identify patterns and improve the situation.
