Individual Attendance Plan / Truancy Prevention Measures*

I acknowledge that I have read the laws listed below.

Compulsory Attendance Laws

•TEXAS SCHOOL LAW requires that school-aged children through the age of 19 years attend each school day for the entire period the program of instruction is provided.

•Absences may be excused for personal illness, medical appointments, family funerals, religious holy days, court appearances, and other excused reasons as outlined in TEC 25.087 and at the discretion of the principal or designee. Absence documentation is to be submitted within two days of the absence. Parents are encouraged to retain a copy of all documentation of notes submitted to the school.

•If a student is absent without a valid excuse three or more days or parts of days in a four-week period, the district will issue an attendance warning notice and develop a behavior improvement plan.

•If a student accumulates 10 or more unexcused days or parts of days in a six-month period, the parent(s) and/or student may be referred to Truancy Court.
