truancy courts
Truancy courts are specialized legal settings that handle cases involving students who habitually skip school without valid reasons. The goal is to address the underlying issues causing absenteeism, which may involve family circumstances, health concerns, or lack of engagement. These courts aim to improve attendance by working collaboratively with students, parents, schools, and community resources. Rather than punishment, truancy courts focus on creating solutions that encourage students to attend school regularly, supporting their education and well-being.
