There isn't currently a way to update the attendance categories once they are entered like you can update the attendance reasons. We would like a way to be able to change these values to better clarify the categories to families as the original category we entered Absent Unexcused is confusing to families.
We should be able to delete an unwanted attendance reason after we've moved all the entries to a different reason. Deleted attendance should not keep us from inactivating a reason or entering a snow day or early closing on the daily schedule. Attendance should not be hard coded.
