BILL · 1999–00 SESSION
HB 1938: Truancy
Affecting truancy provisions for students who change school districts or move to another county.
Summary
- When a child transfers from one school district to another, the receiving school district must honor the attendance record, including unexcused absences, accumulated at the previous district. If a child who is subject to a truancy petition on one county moves to another county, the court in the receiving county, upon request of a school district or parent, assume jurisdiction of the truancy petition.
