Update: Truancy Report. Report to the Legislature
Johnson, Krissy
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
At the end of each school year, each school district compiles, verifies, and submits summary data on truancy petitions to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). This is the second year the OSPI has collected truancy data at the student level, specifically whether a student has had a truancy petition filed on them. In the 2018-19 school year, OSPI began using the Comprehensive Education Data and Research System (CEDARS) to collect additional details on what occurs after a petition is filed. These data elements include referral to a community truancy board or other coordinated intervention; whether the stay was lifted and the student went to court; if there was an alternate less restrictive disposition; and if they were sent to detention. Beginning next year, OSPI will be able to report this data. Data elements required in this truancy report include: (1) the total number of unexcused absences; (2) the number of students with five or more unexcused absences in a month or ten or more unexcused absences in the school year; and (3) the number of truancy petitions filed with the courts. The expanded tables for grades 1-8, grades 9-12, and all grades include information on enrollment, unexcused absences, truancy petitions, and more.
