Title

School attendance, prior notice of prosecution for nonattendance requirement deleted, distribution and verification of receipt of school and state attendance policy required, Sec. 16-28-16 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, cases of nonenrollment and nonattendance of students in the public K-12 schools are investigated by attendance officers at the request of the local superintendent of education.

This bill would delete the requirement of providing notice in any case where nonenrollment or nonattendance has been intentional and without valid reason.

This bill would also require the distribution and verification of receipt of the school attendance policy and applicable sections of the Alabama Compulsory School Attendance Law by each parent, guardian, or other person having control of a child enrolled in each school system.
