Missouri HB2533 modifies school attendance laws by requiring home visits and meetings for students with excessive unexcused absences.
Missouri HB2533 modifies provisions governing school absences. If a child under 17 accumulates 15 or more unexcused absences in a school year, the school district must notify the children's division. The division then conducts a home visit and schedules a meeting with the child, their parents or guardians, and a school counselor to develop a plan to prevent further absences. Failure to attend the meeting or additional unexcused absences can lead to penalties under educational neglect provisions.
