Truancy plan will work with families, not against them, officials say in live chat

Truancy plan will work with families, not against them, officials say in live chat | MLive.com
The plan calls for schools to look at students once they have five absences, whether they are excused or not.
School personnel will decide whether the absences are cause for concern and those that are will continue to be monitored.
If a student being monitored is absent four more times, they will be referred to the prosecutor’s office, which will explain to the student’s family they could lose welfare benefits if the absences continue.
