The Upper Township Board of Education has a legal and moral obligation to ensure that all students attend school. Every parent, guardian, or other person having control and custody of a child between the ages of six (6) and sixteen (16) shall cause the child to regularly attend school pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-25 (Policy 5200). Absences from school jeopardize a student's ability to learn and progress within the curriculum while receiving a full and well-rounded education.
