Mississippi HB1250 excuses absences for students with disabilities under IDEA or Section 504.

Mississippi HB1250 amends the compulsory school attendance law to excuse absences for students with disabilities as defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The bill exempts parents or guardians of these students from prosecution for absences related to the child's disability. It also mandates that parents or guardians of compulsory-school-age children complete a "certificate of enrollment" to facilitate the administration of this section.
