What this document actually says
This administrative regulation, last revised May 17, 2016, requires each Reed Union school to create and regularly review a homework plan. The plan must specify how much time students at each grade level should spend on homework, how parents will be involved, and how homework affects grades. Schools must teach students time management and study skills, coordinate assignments across teachers to prevent overload, and ensure library access for research. For makeup work, the policy requires that students with excused absences must be allowed to complete missed assignments and tests within a reasonable timeframe without grade penalties. Parents must receive full notification of excused absence rights under Education Code 48205. Suspended students may also be required to complete missed work.
What this means for your family
Your child's school has specific homework expectations for their grade level, and you should receive clear information about homework time requirements, how homework affects grades, and how you can help. If your child has an excused absence, they cannot lose credit if they complete makeup work within a reasonable time. Schools must prevent homework overload by coordinating assignments across teachers. You'll be notified of your rights regarding absences.
