    2. If the total percent Unexcused absent < 50%, then UP
  2. When the student has absence attendance records on a given day that are all Excused Absences (unexcused = 0%), then one record will be generated based on the percent of the day absent:
    1. If the total percent Excused absent >= 50%, then EF
    2. If the total percent Excused absent < 50%, then EP
  3. When the student has a mixture of Excused and Unexcused attendance records for a given day, then two records will be generated based on the student’s percentage amount for each absence type:
    1. For Excused Absences:
      1. If the total percent Excused absent >= 50%, then EF
      2. If the total percent Excused absent < 50%, then EP
    2. For Unexcused Absences:
      1. If the total percent Unexcused absent >= 50%, then UF
