LB 933 amends the recently modified truancy law. When a child is absent more than twenty days per year, districts would only be required to review the case with the county attorney to determine if any further action is necessary. If they determine that further action is necessary, they must meet with the parents of the child before taking further action. Under the current law, districts are required to file a report with the county attorney who may then immediately file truancy charges against the parents of the child.
