Ford County Schools are discussing the difference between truancy and chronic absence with students in their schools. Both truancy and chronic absence can impact a child's education, but they're not the same thing.
Truancy is when a student intentionally skips school without a valid excuse.
Chronic absence is when a student misses 10% or more of school days, regardless of the reason.
It's important to address both issues to support a child's academic success and well-being.
Congratulations to our PBL Junior High School Students of the Week for the week of September 30 - October 4th. Great job, Panthers!
