The new-sprung bill (LB 463) introduced January 14th, and approved May 5th, impacts students, parents, school districts, even county attorneys across Nebraska.
A student is considered a truant at the time of exceeding five days of absences per quarter, and in accordance with policy provision including handling excessive absence cases. Within the first five days, the parents are required by law, to report problem to school district.
Ten days of absence require schools to retrieve and inform public and private entities such as, The Department of Health and Human Services, and probation officers on information linked to the student.
Reaching the 20 day absent limit, the school shall file a report with the County Attorney. Subsequently, the County Attorney may file a complaint before a judge files charges against the juvenile. After problem is identified, school councils evaluate and research reduction of excessive absenteeism by closing academic achievement gaps and increasing counseling, evaluation, and investigation approaches.
The Millard Parent Society (MPS) in Omaha announced on February that “to be certain schools are respectful of parental choices . . . parents would need to be sure they actively participate in policy discussions at the school board level.”
