Dear Parents/Guardians,

Regular school attendance is an important ingredient in students? academic success. Excessive absences interfere with students? progress in mastering knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for higher education and the workforce.

Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, school districts must measure student absences in hours, rather than days, and must adhere to new policies regarding student discipline as a result of HB 410. The new law substantially changes the response to truancy, requiring school districts to implement policies that emphasize intervention strategies to address absenteeism.

The new law eliminates the concept of "chronic truancy" and instead categorizes all students with excessive absences as "habitually truant." The school district must send written notification to the parent or legal custodian of any student who is absent, with or without legitimate excuse, for 38 hours in a month or for 65 hours in a year.

The law defines excessive absence as a student who is:

- Absent 38 or more hours in a month with or without an excuse ? absences will now be calculated in hours not days

- Absent 65 or more hours in a year with or without an excuse

Within 7 days of your child reaching the number of hours identified, you will receive a letter. The school will need to work with you to develop a plan to prevent truancy in the future.

House Bill 410 defines habitual truancy as:

- Absent 30 or more consecutive hours without a legitimate excuse- Absent 42 or more hours in a month without a legitimate excuse- Absent 72 or more hours in a year without a legitimate excuse

School districts and families also must develop an Absence Intervention Plan for students who exceed the absence limits outlined in the law. The purpose of the plan is to identify specific barriers and solutions to attendance. The team will be composed of staff members who are familiar with your child and the programs at school, as well as you, the parent/guardian. If the student refuses to participate in or has failed to make satisfactory progress on the plan within 61 days, the district is required to file a complaint in Juvenile Court.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child?s school building.

Thank you.

Ed Klein, Ph.D.

Assistant Superintendent
