§ 48273 School Attendance Referral Reporting

• •Schools must keep track of kids who are often absent or have behavior problems.
• •They have to send this info to the county superintendent.
• •This helps decide if a kid needs extra help or if the school should ask a court to step in.

A kid misses a lot of school without a good reason.

The school will note how many times this happens and tell the county. If it keeps happening, the school might ask a court to help get the kid back in school.
