Truancy

PASS, Inc., in partnership with the Autauga County School System, is monitoring all truancy cases for the public school system.

This service provides assistance, counseling, and support for families dealing with children who have excessive unexcused absences.

The truancy program serves the family and student by assessing the problem, providing counseling if necessary, and ensuring that the truant student will be back in school.

It is the parent's responsibility for student attendance and behavior.

According to Act 93-672 as adopted by the Alabama Legislature:

Parents/guardians or persons in charge of children are required to ensure that their children enroll and attend school and conduct themselves properly in accordance with written policy on school behavior adopted by the local board of education. The failure of a parent/guardian and persons in charge of children to exercise this responsibility is a crime. If convicted said persons shall be fined not more than $100 and may also be sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than 90 days.
