2014-2015 Principal’s Credit Recovery Plan
If a student is in attendance for at least 75 percent but less than 90 percent of the days a class is offered, the
student may be given credit if he/she participates in a principal’s plan.
Justin F. Kimball High School students are on a block schedule. To be within the parameters to participate in
the Principal’s Credit Recovery Plan, the student must be passing the class which is in question and have
5-10 absences (First Semester-78 days), 6-13 absences (Second Semester-100 days). Absences exceeding the
maximum for each semester will result in automatic credit denial for that course. Absences for credit include
EXCUSED (E), UNEXCUSED (U), and OUT OF SCHOOL SUSPENSION (O) absences.
Justin F. Kimball’s Principal’s Credit Recovery Plan consists of student’s recovery credit through tutorials and/or
independent study projects/additional assignments commensurate with class material missed. The following table
illustrates the expectation based on the number of days missed.

Procedures Regarding the Principal’s Credit Recovery Plan
1. Students in violation of the 90% rule are notified by attendance personnel through the use of
Attendance for Credit Reports or by the centrally printed violation letters sent to the student’s home
via US mail. Attendance committee personnel then schedule a time with students to review the
students attendance report to determine their recovery obligations as listed in the table above.
2. The student reads and signs the Student Attendance for Credit Contract and takes home to get
parental signature, which is required before the plan can be started.
3. After parental signature is obtained, the student is given a copy of the Tutoring/Independent Project
Credit Recovery Log with obligations detailed and due date.
4. A folder is made for each student, containing a copy of the attendance report or Attendance Review
Committee Form, the Student Attendance for Credit Contract, and the Tutorial/Independent Project
Credit Recovery Log.
5. Mrs. Haynes will then add the student to the progress monitoring report spreadsheet.
6. Student must then complete their obligations with the teacher of the specified course, being sure to
have the teacher sign the Project Credit Recovery Log each time a session is complete.
7. Upon completing their obligations, student returns his/her Tutorial/Independent Project Credit
Recovery Log along with all completed work to the Community Liaison Mrs. Haynes in the Parent
Center to file for review.
*During Attendance Committee meetings, the committee approves those students that have made up the appropriate amount of time. After committee approval,
Mrs. Haynes submits the list of approved names to the Data Office. The office may then remove the NG from the course(s) in which student was denied credit.
Data Controllers inform the Counselors that an NG has been removed so that the counselors can update their records.
