The Truancy BillOhio Senate Bill 181, “The Truancy Bill”, became effective in September 2000. Truancy has been divided into two legal definitions: Habitual Truancy and Chronic Truancy. The definitions are as follows: Habitual TruancyHabitual Truancy is when a child is absent without legitimate excuse for five or more consecutive school days, seven or more school days in a month, or twelve or more school days in a school year. A court can determine this as an Unruly Offense.
Chronic TruancyChronic Truancy is when a child is absent without legitimate excuse for seven or more consecutive days in a month, or ten or more school days in a school year. This can be determined as a Delinquency Offense. The law provides that complaints are filed against both the parent and the child (if the child is age appropriate) in truancy cases. Penalties for the parents include requiring the parent to participate in a truancy prevention mediation program, requiring the parent to post bond of not more than $500.00, requiring the parent to pay a fine of not more than $500.00, and requiring the parent to complete 72 hours of Community Service. In addition, a parent may be charged with Ohio Revised Code 2919.24: contributing to the Unruliness or Delinquency of a Child, a misdemeanor of the first degree. The offense is punishable by a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a maximum fine of $1,000.00. ________________________________________ Learn more about The Maritime Academy of Toledo Foundation at http://www.themaritimefoundation.us. |
