Create a New Truancy Record

Each time a student is truant, a new truancy record can be created and managed on the Truancy tab. Existing truancy records can also be paused and resumed throughout a school year.

  

A student can only have one Truancy record open (no End Date entered) at a time in the district. For existing records, all dates must fall within the school year associated with the record. For new records, all dates must fall within the school year selected in the Campus Toolbar.
