Iowa HF555 modifies the method of sending notices to parents when a child becomes chronically absent.

Iowa HF555 changes the current requirement for school officials to send notices by certified mail to parents or guardians of a chronically absent child. Instead, the bill mandates that these notices be sent by ordinary mail and electronic mail, if available. The notices must include information about the child's absences and the policies and disciplinary processes associated with additional absences.
