New reporting requirement for schools

LB 800, passed by the legislature last year, requires all public districts and non-public school systems to submit a monthly report on the number of students with excessive absenteeism, suspensions, expulsions, and contacts with law enforcement officers. This information will be reported to the Nebraska Department of Education at the end of each month.

It is also required that the county attorney be contacted when students have excessive absenteeism.
