Indiana fair organizers are seeking support for a measure that would grant excused absences to students who miss class to participate in agricultural events such as 4-H fairs.
The Indiana Association of Fairs is Circulating a petition, calling for legislation to ensure students aren't punished if they miss class to attend the Indiana State Fair or other events.
The effort is being driven by concern about changing school calendars that have shortened summer vacations.
