Attendance is a denominator problem. Without working days, every percentage is an argument waiting to happen.

Bengaluru still has to do this against Karnataka SSLC, CBSE, ICSE, IB. April academic year for most day schools; some IB campuses overlay a northern-hemisphere term that still has to share working days. Named facts: Karnataka SSLC, BBMP, NEP, INR. Name the owner before the first family sees a receipt.

How this playbook changes in Bengaluru
taking school attendance in Bengaluru changes where the local calendar, boards, and fee practice differ from a generic weekday school. Without published working days, every attendance percentage is an argument. The denominator is the holiday master, not a weekday grid.
April academic year for most day schools; some IB campuses overlay a northern-hemisphere term that still has to share working days. INR term fees with transport and after-school heads; NEP stage changes should not invent a second ledger. IT-corridor transfers arrive all year. Placement depends on Karnataka SSLC or CBSE history, not only a June checkbox. SSLC board practicals and CBSE internals share teachers who already mark attendance on the calendar.
Outer Ring Road and Whitefield routes are billed ancillaries; traffic makes late policy a coordinator decision. A minority of Bengaluru schools board. Residential roll is not academic attendance. Bengaluru’s private schools mix Karnataka SSLC, CBSE, ICSE, and IB campuses along the IT corridor. BBMP neighbourhoods change faster than catchment lists, so admissions files often arrive from another city mid-year when a parent’s posting moves. Fee conversations are in INR with NEP-aligned grade structures in some schools and older SSLC streams in others. One student record has to survive that mix without a second spreadsheet for the “international wing.” Named facts: Karnataka SSLC, BBMP, NEP, INR.
