(B) If a student enrolled in a school district is absent from school for the sole purpose of traveling out of the state to participate in an enrichment activity approved by the district board of education or in an extracurricular activity, the district shall count that absence as an excused absence, up to a maximum of twenty-four hours per school year that the student's school is open for instruction. The district shall require any such student to complete any classroom assignments that the student misses because of the absence.
(C) If a student will be absent from school for twenty-four or more consecutive hours that the student's school is open for instruction, for a purpose described in division (B) of this section, a classroom teacher employed by the school district shall accompany the student during the travel period to provide the student with instructional assistance.
