Truancy Hearing Delayed in Decorah Case
State Superintendent Robert Benton indefinitely delayed an administrative hearing on the Sessions truancy case from Decorah. The delay awaits state board ruling on Decorah school board procedures when rejecting the Sessions home program for Erik, 11, and Sarah, 8. The DPI will decide if home instruction with a certified teacher meets state requirements and if it equals public schooling.
