School Board of the City of Virginia Beach Regulation 5-17.1 STUDENTS Absences/Truancy School and Class Attendance -Grades K-12 Students are expected to be in school, in class, and ready for instruction. Daily and punctual school attendance is essential to each student's academic development. Absence from school is detrimental to student achievement. A student is counted present for state reporting purposes if present for any portion of the day. As required under the provisions of law, each parent/guardian is responsible for regular and punctual attendance of any child in his or her charge within the compulsory age for school attendance. Emancipated students are responsible for their own regular and punctual attendance. Parents and emancipated students are expected to work cooperatively with school personnel to correct attendance problems, including meetings with teachers, counselors, or administrators. Each member of a school's faculty is expected to avoid causing a student to be tardy or absent from a colleague's class. If a student is tardy or absent because of being detained by a faculty member, he/she will be considered excused and the absence will not be included in the count for excessive absences. Students shall not be in an unauthorized area of the school without prior permission, and shall not leave a classroom, building, or assigned area without proper permission. Students who do not comply with this section will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct and Discipline Guidelines.

VERMONT SCHOOL-TO-WORK BEST PRACTICE TRUANCY INTERVENTION PROJECT Rutland Region Education Alliance Rutland County, Vermont BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE Recognizing the correlation between dropouts and truancy, the Truancy Project uses a prevention-intervention model to support youth and families in the region and increase school graduation. The intervention model is a systems approach designed to help schools, parents and youth identify the issues resulting in truancy and create solutions and support systems to change behavior. Working together, a community intervention team and the family address the truant behavior in a way that is supportive, inclusive and consistent. The process begins with a letter sent to the parents/guardians when a youth has five unexcused absences. In the letter, the entire procedure is communicated to the family and youth, with clear expectations for improved attendance and consequences for continued truancy. Should attendance improve following the letter, no further action is necessary. Continued unexcused absence for two more days (a total of seven) triggers a second letter with a date and time set for the family to meet with the intervention team. Local community service providers along with the team, the youth and the family develop a plan that will keep the youth in school, help make up missed school work and identify outside supports for the family if necessary. Failure on the part of the family to attend the meeting and continued unexcused absences of more than ten days results in the school referring the case to Social Rehabilitation Services (SRS) and the State’s Attorney’s office for court action. (Note: Because representatives of SRS and law enforcement are part of the community team and process, SRS and court action become real consequences for these youth.) However, the emphasis of the project is to successfully intervene to prevent legal action. Families encounter substantial support through the initial intervention and often see schools as a meaningful resource for the first time. The overriding goal is a successful intervention that will help keep the youth in school.

Further Information It is likely that at some stage during your time at school you will be questioned by teachers, senior school staff such as the principal) or other adults (such as a guidance counsellor). Most of the time this will be to do with day-to-day school activities such as school-work or your attendance. In these cases it will be reasonable for you to answer. However, there may be times when you are questioned at school about a serious incident. You may be taken out of class and kept in the principal’s office. You could face suspension or stand-down. You may be asked questions about crimes, such as drug-use or theft. A police officer may even come to school to question you about these things. In these cases you have some basic legal rights that are important for you to know. This information sheet will explain your legal rights if you happen to find yourself in this situation.

Attendance Improvement Truancy Printer-friendly version Truancy Information and resources that define truancy and truancy penalties and other related information Definition of a Truant The California Legislature defined a truant in very precise language. In summary, it states that a student missing more than 30 minutes of instruction without an excuse three times during the school year must be classified as a truant and reported to the proper school authority. This classification and referral helps emphasize the importance of school attendance and is intended to help minimize interference with instruction. The Education Code Section that defines a truant reads as follows: Education Code Section 48260 (a): Any pupil subject to compulsory full-time education or compulsory continuation education who is absent from school without a valid excuse three full days or tardy or absent more than any 30-minute period during the school day without a valid excuse on three occasions in one school year, or any combination thereof, is a truant and shall be reported to the attendance supervisor or the superintendent of the school district.

Photo by Jim Kleinhans/Dunn County News By Jim Kleinhans, Editor Dunn County Circuit Judge William C. Stewart, Jr., has been honored by the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators (WASDA). At its annual education conference in Green Bay Wednesday, WASDA presented Stewart with its Bert Grover Child Advocacy Award for 2004. According to WASDA executive director Miles Turner, the award was created in 1992 to "recognize an individual or agency that has exhibited extraordinary dedication to the cause of child advocacy" in Wisconsin. Stewart was selected because of his "past and current dedication to children." In his acceptance speech, Judge Stewart said that he has been advocating and doing things for kids for a long time, citing his work at UW-Stout and as a school guidance counselor. Stewart told those in attendance that nothing that works for kids is magic. "Our truancy program is not magic, but a commitment from many individuals," he stressed.

Front Page World UK UK Politics ... Help Friday, January 22, 1999 Published at 20:27 GMT Education Tackling truancy Walking out of school often means walking into crime The government is embarking on the first stage of its campaign to cut school truancy in England by a third by 2002. Sue Littlemore: "Many schools say that they will find the new process difficult to handle" (BBC Six O'Clock News) The School Standards Minister, Estelle Morris, announced a £65m package of measures to reduce truancy and disruptive behaviour in the classroom - and, it is hoped, the knock-on effects on crime and unemployment. The money is the first year's allocation of £500m announced by the education secretary in his speech to the Labour Party Conference last October. One scheme: electronic registration ... Almost two-thirds of school-age offenders are persistent truants or excluded from school, a pattern the minister hopes her initiatives will break. One aspect that has brought scepticism from teachers' unions is that schools are being "strongly recommended" not to delay in contacting parents when a child fails to turn up for school without explanation. The advice is published a few days after two girls in East Sussex disappeared after failing to arrive at school, although their parents did not find out about their absence until the end of the school day. ... lets schools contact parents of persistent truants ... The Department for Education now "strongly recommends" that if a pupil is absent without explanation when the register is called in the morning, the school should wherever possible contact the parents that same day. It says research shows this sort of policy can improve attendance by up to 10%.

Panel: More counselors are needed By Barry Smith , Freedom Raleigh Bureau, The Times-News Reprinted with permission That, she believes, would help those students down the road who could be headed for discipline problems, who could end up with long-term suspensions from school. "Prevention is what you want to go for," said High, a guidance counselor at W.C. Friday Middle School in Gaston County. "Early prevention and trying to get them on the right track — and early intervention — would be most helpful." Hiring more guidance counselors at middle schools and making sure every alternative school has a guidance counselor is among the recommendations being proposed by a state House committee looking at providing an appropriate education for students on long-term suspension. "There are so many people getting into trouble in the eight and ninth grade," said Rep. Jean Preston, R-Carteret, who co-chairs the committee. "We know that roughly the eighth and ninth graders are causing most of the truancy problems and dropping out of school," said Rep. Alex Warner, D-Cumberland, the committee’s other co-chair.

A rough May in the 47th Precinct Borough last to get new truancy centers By Caroline Howard May 14, 2001 On a summery day last week, St. Mary's Park was a magnet for young people out to enjoy the weather. A group of boys fielded softballs while a couple of girls swayed to the music of a Walkman at a nearby picnic table. The only trouble was, at 11 a.m., these children should have been in school. About this time every year, when the thermometer tops 70 degrees, schools and police launch a concerted effort to combat spring-fever truancy. But the city's latest strategy to keep a lid on truancy - a "way station" for kids playing hooky - scheduled to open in Castle Hill, has been delayed in the borough until the fall. The long-standing approach to truancy, police drop-offs at schools, will continue for the remainder of the school year and through summer school. The city's new strategy, named TRACK, or Truancy Reduction Alliance to Contact Kids, goes one step further. After police round ups, students are brought directly to TRACK centers, where they must wait until a parent or attendance officer returns them to school. Social workers also meet with the family, make counseling referrals and track students' subsequent attendance records.

Research Truancy Sweeps Truancy Sweeps Everyday over 50,000 pupils miss a day of school without permission and estimated 7.5 million school days are missed each year through truancy. Research shows that these children who are not in school are most vulnerable and are easily drawn into crime and anti-social behaviour and more likely to be unemployed after leaving school. Youth Justice MORI survey of young people 2002 shows that those who play truant are more likely to offend than those that do not, with two-thirds (65%) of truants having offended versus less than a third (30%) of those who have not played truant. The Governments determination to reduce unauthorised absence and tackle truancy saw the start of national co-ordinated truancy sweeps in May 2002. Since then the Department has maintained the momentum of truancy sweeps by conducting national exercises twice a year. Data from the previous sweeps shows that, of 52, 617 pupils stopped, 38.6% of them were truanting and 46.5% of those truants were with an adult.
