Note:

We take great effort to make a detailed calendar that allows students to only come to rehearsal when we are working on material in which they are involved. For this reason, if a student requests to be absent from a rehearsal or performance date, and if this request was not submitted by auditions (May 3), then the absence may not be excused and the student may face adverse action including being replaced by another student for the performance and production. Requests for absences received after May 3 may or may not be approved based on the discretion of the directors. In determining whether to grant the request for the ab-sence, the directors shall take into consideration factors including, but not limited to: (1) whether the absence is school related; and (2) the impact of the absence on the rehearsal process and the rest of the production. If the directors deny the request for an unscheduled absence or absence date change, the student or the parent/guardian may appeal in writing the directors’ decision to the County Super-intendent or his designee. The appeal to the County Superintendent or his designee must be filed within three (3) business days of the directors’ decision to deny the absence. The decision of the County Superintendent or his designee on appeal shall be final. A detailed rehearsal schedule is available at our office or on our website. Go to www.tcoe.org/theatreco
