Utah HB0502 enacts several modifications to school attendance policies. It permits and establishes requirements for standardizing citizenship grades, which reflect a student's character traits and civic responsibility. The bill allows attendance-based grading, where attendance can account for up to 20% of a student's final grade, and repeals individualized attendance plans for such grading. It also creates a test-out option for core classes, allowing students to demonstrate proficiency without enrolling in the course.
