Modifies provisions governing absences from school

HB 2533 requires school districts to schedule a meeting with parents/guardians and counselors when a student accumulates 15 or more unexcused absences in a school year without a physician's note. If the parent misses the meeting or the student has additional unexcused absences after the meeting, the school must report detailed student information (including name, address, grades, and absence dates) to the state children's division within 10 business days. The children's division then conducts a home visit to notify families about potential educational neglect charges under existing law if absences continue. This bill directly affects students with chronic absenteeism, their families, school districts, and child welfare agencies, creating a formal reporting pathway for unexcused absences.
