  Case: Tardy policies
My school district has a tardy policy. The policy is warnings the first three tardies, a parent contact on the fourth tardy, and a referral on the fifth tardy (and a referral on any referral after five). The problem is there are hundreds of students tardy to classes each block. So the office does not punish the students (other than conferences) stating they cannot punish hundreds of students. What can teachers do to fix this tardy issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Lots of great responses! I'll add that whatever the school chooses to implement or even a class chooses to implement, it is important that it is implemented consistently and in a firm manor. Without which there will not be much success!
