Hi Mr. Flemming,
The Charter
School agreement states that charter schools shall report to the School
District’s Office of Truancy and Attendance all unexcused absences of any
duration greater than three (3) days.
The Charter School Agreement also states that the Charter School shall
submit to the District a report for any student after ten (10) consecutive days
of unexcused absence.
It is
important to point out however, that Charter Schools are independent LEA’s, and
because of that they are solely responsible to provide prevention and outreach
support to truant students, as well as take action if students are repeatedly
truant.
The District’s Office of Truancy and Attendance has been
successful however, in working with the city’s Truancy Court to expand services to
charter schools. In November,
charter schools that meet the proper requirements can refer truant students to
Truancy Court for review by DHS and family court.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.
