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’

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!
