Nebraska Statute 79-210 School Attendance

Nebraska Statute 79-210 requires all public schools to notify the County Attorney if a student (ages 6-18) misses twenty or more days of school. Bancroft-Rosalie School will comply with the statute and report all students that are absent more than 20 days to the County Attorney in the County in which the student resides. The School will include in the letter any information on illnesses or other extreme circumstances that have impacted the student’s ability to attend school.

I have attached copies of the letters that will be used to contact parents regarding their child's excessive absences. The school must report the number of students with excessive absences to the state and also how many students were referred to the County Attorney.
