The board of trustees of a school district may appoint an attendance officer for the school district, who need not be a licensed employee of the school district, except that in any school district where a system of classified employment is in effect, attendance officers must be classified employees of the school district.

(a) Fix the compensation of the attendance officer;
(b) Prescribe the duties of the attendance officer; and
(c) Adopt regulations not inconsistent with law for the performance of the duties of the attendance officer.
2. The board of trustees of each school district shall:
(a) Establish procedures to monitor the attendance, chronic absenteeism and truancy of pupils, including, without limitation, a standard method for reporting the chronic absenteeism and truancy of pupils and a standard method for reporting excessive absences of pupils throughout the school district;
(b) Coordinate efforts to refer pupils who are truant to appropriate providers of community services; and
(c) Determine, based on the attendance, chronic absenteeism and truancy of pupils at each school within the school district, whether to employ an attendance clerk for a particular school or group of schools whose primary responsibility is to monitor the attendance and truancy of pupils.
3. The Department shall adopt by regulation a definition of the term “chronic absenteeism.” The board of trustees of each school district shall ensure that the actions taken pursuant to subsection 2 are consistent with such a definition.
