Pennsylvania SB984 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to enhance attendance policies at charter, regional charter, and cyber charter schools. It mandates that these schools establish attendance policies to accurately determine when a child is absent. The bill outlines procedures for notifying parents when a child is truant, handling citations for truancy, and managing habitual truancy. It also restricts transfers to virtual instruction for habitually truant students unless a judge approves.
