This is a sticky problem. One suggestion (not a decision, just a 
suggestion, others should provide input) is that you check in the 
original data sheets, to see when the kid in question was last 
confirmed present, and then entering a manual stat date. For some 
kids the mom's statdate might provide a clue. How many are there?
