Pennsylvania Statutes Title 24 P.S. Education § 13-1325. Purpose

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

<For applicability of the addition of § 13-1325 by Act 2016, Nov. 3, P.L. 1061, No. 138, § 1, see Act 2017, Nov. 6, P.L. 1142, No. 55, § 21.>

The purpose of this subdivision  1 is to improve school attendance and deter truancy through a comprehensive approach to consistently identify and address attendance issues as early as possible with credible intervention techniques in order to:

(1) Preserve the unity of the family whenever possible as the underlying issues of truancy are addressed.

(2) Avoid the loss of housing, the possible entry of a child to foster care and other unintended consequences of disruption of an intact family unit.

(3) Confine a person in parental relation to a child who is habitually truant only as a last resort and for a minimum amount of time.
