Frisco ISD School Attendance - Truancy

Truancy

Under Texas law, a student who experiences more than three unexcused absences (full or partial day) in a four-week period or 10 unexcused absences (full or partial day) in a six month period will engage in truancy prevention efforts. This includes unexcused late arrivals and early pickup. In Frisco ISD, families are referred to attend a truancy tribunal. County court charges may also be filed against the parent in these circumstances.

Payton, Nix & Associates facilitates all truancy tribunals for Frisco ISD. Through their support, truancy prevention measures are put in place for students. Campuses and facilitators help monitor the progress throughout this process in hopes of changing the student's behavior.
