Annual Compulsory Attendance Notice
It is the desire of the Brownsville Independent School District to provide each student with the opportunity to receive a free and appropriate public education and to inform parents about compliance with Texas Compulsory School Laws.
A student is truant if he/she has 10 or more days or parts of days of unexcused absences within a six month period or three days or parts of days of unexcused absences within a four week period.
As per State Law (SB1432), it is the parent’s duty to monitor attendance and require students to attend school. Failure to comply will subject parents to legal prosecution. Parents are required to schedule a conference with school officials to discuss excessive absences.
Students and parents will be summoned before a Justice of the Peace for violation of Compulsory Attendance Laws where sanctions may involve court costs, fines, and/or community service.
