- Student Attendence 4040
- The Truancy Prevention Policy that is part of the above linked Student Attendance Policy 4040 is a state law that now affects students in Kindergarten to 12th Grade. The law changed during the last legislative session to include students in 7th to 12th Grades, since it only addressed students in kindergarten to 6th grade before. The policy link above has greater details, but this change within Indiana law requires school corporations to hold attendance hearings on a student if the student has missed five (5) unexcused absences within a ten (10) week period.

- School attendance is a powerful predictor of student outcomes. In fact, irregular attendance can be a better predictor of whether students will drop out of school before graduation than test scores, according to the US Department of Education.
- The correlation between attendance and dropout rates has important ramifications that go beyond the classroom. Compared to their peers who graduate, students who fail to complete their high school education are more likely to live in poverty, suffer poor health, and become involved in the criminal justice system.
