Derbyshire和Plymouth取消学期间学生不请假去度假的罚款政策了,其它council跟上大家度假就省很多钱了!

大家都知道,每年学校假期的时候飞机票和旅游地酒店都大涨价,如果能带孩子早走一个星期或者晚回一个星期一家几口人度假要省很多钱,但现在学校都不准假,如果不经过批准带孩子走那家长就要被罚款,很多家长因此被罚款,很多家长对这个政策很恼火,一些家长把council告上法庭还胜了,有几个官司的先例很多council都在重新考虑如何实行这个政策,看起来有council不想打官司,干脆取消这个政策了。

Derbyshire County Council term holiday fines only ‘in worst cases’
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-37429748

Fines for taking children on holiday in school term time are being largely abandoned by a local authority.

A surge in the £60 charges followed a change in government guidelines which said such absences were only permitted in “exceptional circumstances”.

But the policy was thrown into confusion in May when the High Court ruled a single holiday did not break rules on regular attendance.

Now Derbyshire County Council has said only extreme cases will be fined.

In the 2014/2015 school year, Derbyshire County Council handed out nearly 3,200 of the £60 per child, per week fines - the fifth highest number in the country.

The High Court ruling, which is the subject of an appeal, left education authorities having to decide how to apply the existing rules and subsequently a number of court cases were abandoned.

Derbyshire County Council has confirmed its “interim arrangements”, which state if attendance is above 94% - equivalent to missing 11 or 12 days - over the previous 12 months, only a warning letter will be issued.

Katherine Boulton, the council’s service director for schools and learning, said: "We strongly recommend that pupils should not be taken out of school during term time.

“But there are always exceptional circumstances and the council believes these measures are fair and proportionate.”

Craig Langman, of campaign group Parents Want A Say, said: "This is great news. We have heard of some parents who were facing action, checking on the progress of cases against them, only to be told their child’s attendance now comes within acceptable limits.

“But this is the first instance I know of where a education authority has clearly stated new guidelines. It’s a great step and we encourage others to follow suit.”

突破性结果,学期间未经允许带孩子度假被罚款父母到高等法院和council打官司赢了!

我孩子学校每次放假提早一周,能省不少钱。

确实应该适当松动些,不然带着几个孩子真的是去不起holiday。。

快点我们council也实施吧~
上周学校才来了一封信详细强调了学期内不允许带孩子去履行……MD!

是的,私校都要早一到两个星期。 {:5_137:}

私校本来也无所谓,只要交钱,爱干嘛干嘛去。

准备搬去Plymouth!!

我儿子学校还管的松些呢,一般一个星期校长都会给假的,上次带孩子回国,跟校长请俩个星期,校长说会耽误学习,一个星期就没问题。

你孩子应该每天比其他学校孩子早上课半个小时, 晚下课半个小时。

真正实施起来就好了。我们小学也是说不要超出一星期他们就帮大家瞒着不上报政府,我们才能提早一星期回国。

好奇乔治小王子这几天去加拿大玩,跟学校请假了吗?有免罚单金牌吗?

私校里,校长说了算,council管不着。

哦哦,是私校啊

一样呀, 9点到3点半上课, 5点前课外班
