NOW OPEN: Chronic Absenteeism Medical Exemption Window for SY 2021-2022  

The Chronic Absenteeism Medical Exemption Window is now open in the Accountability Reporting application in Single Sign-On (SSO). Any day that a student was absent due to a significant medical condition may be exempted from SY 2021-2022 Chronic Absenteeism reporting. These exemptions, if in alignment with conditions specified in OAC § 210:10-13-25, local policy, and are approved by the local exemption committee, will be excluded from reporting. Among other scenarios, this exemption applies to students who are receiving treatment for a chronic or terminal disease or students who have lost an immediate family member.   

School leaders may submit Chronic Absenteeism Medical Exemptions for specific students within the Accountability Reporting application in SSO. For more information on submitting such requests, please review this guidance document. Please note that this window—in conjunction with ensuring data accuracy within the certified Annual Statistical Report (ASR)—serves as the only data verification process for student-level Chronic Absenteeism data prior to SY 2021-2022 reporting. Please click here to identify the district level user(s) who will be granting/denying Medical Exemptions for the district.  

The Chronic Absenteeism Medical Exemption Window will close on June 30, 2022. 

You can register for a March 30th webinar below. In addition to this window, we will also discuss the following agenda topics: Graduation Audit, Demographic Overlay, and coursework data.
