The state requires that all children between the ages of 6 to 18 comply with compulsory attendance requirements. A student is considered “truant” when they have incurred three or more school days of unexcused absences during the current school year. A student is considered “habitually truant” when they have incurred six or more school days of unexcused absences during the current school year.
When Insight Pa students meet either “truant” or “habitually truant” status, we are required to follow the procedures outlined in our Attendance Policy, which can be found on pages 34-39 of our Family and Student Handbook.
