Truancy laws: how are they affecting our legal systems, our schools, and the students involved?
Abstract
Truancy laws have an interesting history in America. In the past, truancy laws were rarely enforced and resulted in the student's removal from school rather than troubleshooting the bigger issues that led to their absenteeism. Today, legislators are holding the families of truant students accountable and requiring school districts to keep a close eye on attendance records, especially since truancy has been strongly linked to delinquency, drug involvement, and criminal activity. There are proponents and opponents of tightening truancy laws in the United States. Many districts have adopted truancy prevention programs in order to combat absenteeism in U.S. schools.

Educational and mental health agencies often emphasize the concept of truancy in their definitions and discussions of problematic school absenteeism, but rarely that of school refusal or related terms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
