Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 17:233(B)(1)(b), relative to truancy; to provide for parental and school responsibilities with respect to truant students; to provide for criminal penalties; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to provide additional responsibilities for parents and schools regarding truant students. Specifically, the bill requires parents of truant students to ensure their children make up missed schoolwork by attending after-school tutoring, weekend classes, or other remediation opportunities until the student has caught up. Parents must also attend monthly meetings at the school about their child's progress and any assistance fairs that provide information on support services. Failure to comply may result in penalties. The bill also requires principals to note any attendance concerns on Supplemental Security Income forms related to the child. This aims to improve school attendance and academic performance for truant students.
