[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's not in dcps yet. What's the repercussion for unexcuse absences? [/quote]

if your child is at a charter it can be grounds for being expelled or not eligible to re-enroll.[/quote]

and in all schools, if you rack up enough absences you can be referred to CFSA.  They will either substantiate the report of educational neglect (or, if their investigation uncovers it, other abuse/neglect) and offer you services (sometimes with the child in the house, or in serious cases the kid is removed and placed with relatives or in foster care) or find that there was no evidence of abuse and neglect and close their investigation.

A lot of DCUM families don't understand that they are the extreme outliers in DC public schools.  22% of kids in DC live under the poverty level (for a mom and kid, that's under $15,730 a year) and even more are just above that level.  Most kids in DC get their health care from public sources like Medicaid or Medicare.  DC is going to design its policies around what they want for the majority of kids.
