The threshold I've seen isn't all that high. Family I know got hit for 8 call outs in a quarter. Thats less than 1 a week.
Attending the school nurse is also a horrible idea. Besides containmenting the school (especially the main office where most are located and pulling multiple duties), most nurses aren't qualified in a wide range of reasons for a student missing school. But there you go again with "most" as if you have some sort of factual claim for how many absences are and aren't legitament.
