CHANGES TO ROE # 46 TRUANCY PROGRAM

We have restructured our truancy program in the hope of providing a more consistent method of dealing with truant students across our four county region, and to meet the new requirements of state law. 

The Truancy laws now require the Regional Office to send letters to each truant’s parent or guardian after the student’s 6th, 12th, and 18th day of UNEXCUSED ABSENCE.  If the truant behavior continues,  a representative of the Regional Office will then hold a hearing to decide on further actions to be taken.

Individual schools will need to fill out a Truant Data Sheet after the student’s sixth unexcused absence and fax the information to the appropriate contact number.  A Follow-Up Data Sheet will need to be faxed after the twelfth and eighteenth days of absence.
