Case: Truancy
When a child exceeds allowed absences, shows to school in dirty clothes, and fails in every content area due to missed work, not lack of capability, at what point does the issue go to court? The school counselor reported the issue to the district's social worker. The parent was contacted and communicated that she wanted to give up rights to her children. The worker talked the parent out of doing so. The child is still absent several times every month. At what point is the law being broken? And what is the next step?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In my district,in regards to absences, the school sends a letter after three unexcused tardies or absences, we follow up. After 10 absences the social worker gets involved and the parents have to meet for a conference with the school social worker. As the classroom teacher, make sure that you have all documentation in regards to student absences, apperance, behavior, and the amount of work missed and the content and level of importance. Also keep a parent contact log showing when you have tried to get in contact with the parent. You should be involved in the initial meeting. The point of this meeting is to talk with the parent and come up with a plan of action. In your case, it is unsettling that the parent wanted to give up rights and was talked out of it,but it seems in this talking out of it, no plan was set in place ,because the child is in the exact same situation. In my district at that point the courts, social workers, dfacs would definitely be involved. On your end, just document everything. We are mandated reporters,so If you feel the child is neglected, you can also place a call. |
