AB 2771: Pupil attendance: schoolsite absence intervention teams.

Existing law authorizes the establishment of county and local school attendance review boards that may promote the use of alternatives to the juvenile court system if available public and private services are insufficient or inappropriate to correct school attendance or school behavioral problems, as provided. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to coordinate and administer a state school attendance review board, as provided.

This bill would require the State Department of Education, by the beginning of the 202627 school year, to post information on its internet website about methods of reducing chronic absenteeism, including through the formation of schoolsite absence intervention teams composed of specified members, as provided.
