Truancy Laws and Regulation

Truancy laws are regulations aimed at reducing school absenteeism without valid excuses. They require schools to monitor student attendance and report cases of frequent absences to parents, guardians, or local authorities. If a student misses a certain number of days, schools may implement intervention strategies, such as meetings with parents, counseling, or community services. In more serious cases, truancy can lead to legal action against parents or guardians. The goal is to ensure that students receive an education and address any underlying issues that may be causing absenteeism.
