Is your policy different for summer, winter, spring vacations/holidays, insert
any day(s) off?  How do you know exactly with thousands of different school
districts? You'll be close with 80%-90%.
Not to mention home schooling, who knows maybe the parent/teacher is using
a MUD/MMRPG to teach social interaction, one of the classic major negatives of
home schooling.

As a "step" parent to a 12 year old and a real parent to a 11 month old, 
it's _my_ responsibility to make sure Timmy does his homework and get off his (my)
computer.
