School Doctor Notes Dispute

Summary

Schools have autonomy over attendance policies, and there is no specific New Jersey statute addressing the acceptance of doctor notes for past absences. Consider requesting a meeting with the school district or board, consulting a local attorney, or filing a complaint with the New Jersey Department of Education for further assistance.
