Change provisions relating to reports by a school district relating to absences of a child from school
LB 1146 requires Nebraska school districts to create annual attendance policies developed with county attorneys. These policies must outline how schools address excessive absences (after 20 unexcused days) through documented support services like written communication, family meetings, and referrals to health or community resources. The bill specifies that absences due to illness, special education needs, homelessness, or pregnancy/parenthood are not counted as unexcused. Schools must prove they provided these support services before reporting a student's case to the county attorney for further action.
