LB1146

Nebraska LB1146 amends school attendance reporting requirements for excessive absences.

Nebraska LB1146 modifies the procedures for reporting student absences to county attorneys. Schools must develop a policy in collaboration with the county attorney to address excessive absences, including services to tackle attendance barriers. Schools must convene meetings with relevant parties to create a plan to improve attendance. The bill also specifies conditions under which absences are not considered unexcused, such as those related to illness or special education services. The legislation repeals the original section 79-209 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska.
