[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks are being a little too hard on OP. These truancy policies matter and there are a lot of kids who need protection. But DCPS does a lousy job of explaining attendance policies, as well as proper reporting procedures (or at least at my inbound). [b]And they shouldn't be wasting resources going after families that value education, especially if there's zero reason to expect the kid is being mistreated. [/b] Strong policies that allow for some judgment is the way to go. There was a case a few years back involving a single-parent who took her child overseas with her to adopt another child, and the school launched an investigation into her whic, if I recall, almost interfered with the adoption. [/quote] All violators of the attendance policy should be treated the same. How is one to prove that someone "values education" or conversely, that someone doesn't?[/quote]
