Summary
This bill requires a conference with the parent or guardian of a student who has been absent without excuse for 5 days from school. A needs assessment will be performed to determine what supports or services will help the student and family improve school attendance. Moving the intervention forward to the fifth unexcused absence rather than the 10th may help to improve outcomes for Delawares students and help prevent students from disengaging from the school community and dropping out of school.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 14 Of The Delaware Code Relating To School Attendance.
