This paper examines attendance accounting policies and practices for students enrolled in public schools in Texas and in alternative schools of choice (ASC) in particular. Technology advancement allows students to complete their coursework virtually anywhere they have internet access; however, conventional state attendance policies still require students to be in physical attendance unless enrolled in a Texas approved virtual school setting. Our preliminary findings suggest that ASCs and the students who attend them could benefit from more flexible attendance accounting procedures. Policy recommendations are presented and discussed.
