                                       ___________
 
        Introduced by M. of A. JENSEN -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Education
 
        AN  ACT  to amend the education law, in relation to compulsory education
          and being excused for certain reasons
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  1  of  section  3205 of the education law is
     2  amended by adding a new paragraph d to read as follows:
     3    d. A minor from six  to  sixteen  years  absent  from  full  time  day
     4  instruction  for  the  purpose  of  sounding "Taps" at a military honors
     5  funeral held in this state for  a  deceased  veteran.  In  order  to  be
     6  excused under this section, the student shall notify the school's admin-
     7  istration within two days prior to the date of absence and shall provide
     8  the school administration with the date, time, and location of the mili-
     9  tary  honors funeral. The school's administration may waive this two-day
    10  requirement if the student did not receive two days advanced notice, but
    11  the student must provide notice as soon as possible of  the  absence.  A
    12  student  whose absence is excused under this section shall be counted as
    13  if the student attended school for the purposes of calculating the aver-
    14  age daily attendance of the students in the school district.  A  student
    15  whose  absence  is excused under this section must be allowed reasonable
    16  time to make up school work missed during the absence.  If  the  student
    17  satisfactorily  completes  the  school work, the day of absence shall be
    18  counted as a day of compulsory attendance and  he  or  she  may  not  be
    19  penalized for that absence.
    20    §  2.  This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
    21  the date on which it shall have become a law.
