Did you know? Truancy and chronic absence are actually two different things! Truancy focuses specifically on unexcused absences. A student is considered truant after 5 unexcused absences or 5 tardies in a single semester. Chronic Absence looks at the whole picture: missing 10% or more of the school year for any reason, including excused absences and unexcused absences. #AttendanceMatters
