Updated Guidance on Withdrawing Students

As the school year begins, please remember:

OSPI does not require that districts withdraw students for apportionment purposes or for CEDARS reporting.

OSPI has recently published updated guidance on the state requirements that impact student enrollment and withdrawal.

Compulsory Attendance (Truancy)
Apportionment
CEDARS

You can find this and more guidance on withdrawing students on the Attendance Guidance, Policies and Data Reporting webpage including:

OSPI Withdrawing Students Webinar (March 2023). Listen to OSPI clarify the state requirements and learn from local districts how they keep students enrolled while meeting apportionment and CEDARS requirements.
