Thirty days until the prom

<p>The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Vineland High School's current ineligibility policy on attendance for ninth through twelfth grade students by using methods of data gathering and data analysis. The intern surveyed the students of the population on their feelings of the revised eligibility policy. The survey was mainly yes or no questions.</p> <p>The population was a cluster sampling of 1^st period mathematics classes in Vineland High School North and Vineland High School South. This sampling insured that the intern did not get duplicated results from students but did produce a population with various academic backgrounds. The data obtained from the survey was tallied, open-ended questions were compiled and a list of responses was generated.</p> <p>The intern formed a committee to review and revise the eligibility policy at Vineland High School. Teachers, administrators, nurses and secretaries from Vineland High School North and South served on the committee. The committee developed a policy based on a demerit system that took attendance, academics and discipline into consideration. Members of the committee presented the policy to the administration. The policy was rejected but the intern was told parts of the policy might be implemented in the future.</p>
