Vermont H0930 addresses chronic absenteeism by defining it, requiring the Agency of Education to develop a model policy, and mandating schools to.

Vermont H0930 amends state law to address and prevent chronic absenteeism in schools. It defines "chronic absenteeism" as a student being absent for 10% or more of a school year. The bill requires the Agency of Education to develop a model policy for preventing chronic absenteeism and truancy, including templates for documenting actions and notices to parents. Schools must adopt policies at least as stringent as the model policy, ensuring equity and minimizing educational loss. The bill also repeals certain penalties and updates home study program oversight.
