What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to include in the annual school district and school accountability report, commonly referred to as school and school district report cards, the percentage of pupils who are habitually truant.
Current law defines “habitual truant” as a pupil who is absent from school without an acceptable excuse for part or all of five or more days during a school semester. The bill specifies that this information may not be used to evaluate a school's performance or school district's improvement.
