Iowa aims to curb truancy with new state law and family plans
Law advances to address chronic absenteeism in Iowa schools. Truancy triggers engagement meetings at 15 percent and filings at 20 percent with county attorney involvement. Safeguards include exemptions for medical, religious, and educational program reasons. Linn County and Cedar Rapids districts report increased communication and focus on attendance, with the Truancy Deferred Prosecution Program guiding families away from fines or jail.
