Making up sessions due to student absences

So I’m a bit concerned and I may have to make a job switch. I have a special education meeting coming up and the director sent out an agenda ahead of time. I’m seeing something at the bottom of the agenda that starting next school year, we’re expected to make up sessions due to student absences. So if a student is sick, not in school for any reason, etc. I have to be making up those sessions. My caseload is approaching the caseload cap. I’ve never heard of this before. If a student is sick, I’m sorry, but it’s not my problem to make up those sessions. I recently just had a student miss two weeks of school for a family vacation. Once again, not my problem. That’s just a fact about the school setting, if your absent from school, you aren’t getting your services. I am very pissed about this, but I’m gonna see how the meeting goes and hopefully people speak up. I know I will. Because this is ridiculous. I know my director is very meticulous and has high expectations, but this seems to be crossing the line. Do any of you guys have experience with this?
