 6 parent or guardian would pose a risk to the health, safety, or welfare
 7 of the student or would otherwise be contrary to the best interests of
 8 the student. In such cases, the student may complete the program without
 9 parental notification or attendance and the department may provide
 10 alternative supportive services as appropriate.
 11 3. Attendance at such program may be satisfied through in-person or
 12 virtual participation, or through other alternative formats approved by
 13 the department. The department shall ensure that sessions are offered at
 14 varied times, including evenings or weekends where practicable. No
 15 student, parent, or guardian shall be subject to penalty solely for
 16 failure to attend where such failure is
