Chronic Absenteeism Versus Truancy
Virginia Attendance Laws
Consistent school attendance strengthens the acquisition of positive work ethics and certain adaptive traits that are necessary for students to manage stressors throughout their life span. Regular school attendance is not solely a best practice philosophy, it is also a mandate, per Virginia Code 22.1‐254. This code stipulates that every parent or guardian of a youth between 5 and 18 years of age must send their child to school every day. Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) works in partnership with parents to ensure that students attend school every day. If, however, any student becomes chronically absent from school without excuse, there are specific laws that ACPS must enforce.
Virginia laws that govern school attendance and shape ACPS attendance practices:
Virginia Code §22.1-254: Compulsory Attendance Laws
Virginia Code §22.1-258: Appointment of Attendance Officers
Virginia Code §22.1-259: Teachers to Keep Daily Attendance Records
Virginia Code §22.1-260: Reports of Children Enrolled and Non-enrolled
Virginia Code §22.1-261: Duties of Attendance Officers
