What if a CCC participant is ill that day and unable to attend? What does an excusal look like in this case?

• The provision allowing for the excusal of required members is unrelated to the policies of excusing student absences. You will be out of compliance if you hold a case conference committee meeting without the proper membership or excusal evidence. If it is unworkable for the ill member to participate by phone, reschedule the meeting or replace that representative with another who can fill that role, if possible. All excusals should be preplanned and consents should be granted prior to the CCC meeting. Out of respect to the parent, avoid putting the parent in the uncomfortable position of having to respond to a request to excuse a member as participants are assembling just moments before the start of the meeting.
