Texas Truancy Status Report
On this page:
Introduction
The Truancy Status Report identifies students with unexcused days absent according to TEA guidelines. Each time the report is run, unexcused absences and truancy status are recalculated and refreshed based on the most current PowerSchool data. Unexcused Absence Filters allow the user to specify the students who will be reported:
- Students meeting PEIMS Truancy Extension criteria (10 days unexcused in 6 months or Truancy Prevention Measure assigned)
- Students with at least 3 unexcused in 4 weeks
- Students with at least 10 unexcused in 6 months
- Students with at least X days unexcused
Note: A new nightly process to update Student Truancy Tracking records is now available to support future Ed-Fi reporting. The truancy calculations will be generated every year beginning on September 1 and ending on July 31.
