In recent years, some school districts have changed their approaches to truancy to avoid criminalizing children. But one Denver Public Schools parent tells jcrawfordtv he's upset about the district's attendance enforcement.
His child has had more than 100 absences in the past three years, and the father claims DPS has done very little to keep his son in the classroom.
The district shared that it utilizes several methods to promote attendance including contacting parents, creating attendance plans, or filing a petition with the court as a last resort."Right now, it feels like they're kind of pushing him through the system to kind of get him through," he said. "The courts are far less likely today than before to hold students accountable to attendance. We are not allowed to 'punish' for attendance anymore. The natural consequence of non-attendance is failing his classes and repeating his senior year or attending summer school." The father worries about more than just his son's grades. The George Washington High School handbook says the school's goal is to reach a 93% attendance rate.
Next, the district says it provides support that could include meetings, counseling, and creating an attendance plan."Denver Public Schools does refer students to court for truancy, pursuant to state law.
