District employees are required to report suspected educational neglect to their principal/designee as soon as possible.  The principal/designee will:

1. Review the report.
2. Meet with the parents/guardians to resolve the situation.
3. If the student’s truancy is not resolved, call the Student Abuse Hotline of the Division of Family Services.

The District will also report a student’s absences to the Children’s Division if the student is under 17 and has 15 or more absences in a school year.  The report will include the student’s school and grade level, the student’s grades, and the total number of days missed.
