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. To learn more about today's conference and to read NPSB Superintendent Dr. Eloi's letter to the community, please visit https://www.npsb.la/article/1695293. Attendance matters now more than ever, and it starts on Wednesday, August 7th! #NPSB #TogetherWeCan #PPoP #NPSBWarOnTruancy

Tune in at 10 am for the live-stream of our press conference where Dr. Eloi will declare a War on Truancy! #NPSB #TogetherWeCan #PPoP
