Today is the day we declare war on truancy and chronic absenteeism! Did you know that nearly 500 students a day miss school in Natchitoches Parish? Over 46% of our students are truant, meaning they have 5 or more absences. This is not a child problem. This is an adult problem. We held a press conference this morning to announce the NPSB District Truancy Policy for the 2024-2025 school year and introduce our team that will be leading the fight against truancy. Thank you to all of the community leaders who attended today and to our Parish partners for joining our fight.
