Truancy 10 Day Calculation

On this page:

This option calculates the student truancy record for the Summer submission. The calculation will create records for all truant students (age 6 to 18 years under TEC 25.086) who are required to attend school, but did not attend without excuse for 10 or more days or parts of days within a six-month period of a school year. The calculation will update the Truancy page with the date of the 10th absence. If the override field is set for a student on the Truancy page, this student will not be included in the calculation. Note that the attendance criteria calculation does not work for overlapping date ranges.

A student record will not get processed in the Truancy 10 Day calculation if the student has a Prevention Indicator Date entered.

To view the View Truancy attendance records, select Regulatory from the main menu, select Calculations submenu, select View Calculated PEIMS Data, and then select View Truancy.

Prerequisites

Run the Day Totals Calculation for the view used for state reporting for the attendance reporting periods you want to calculate. Menu path: select Attendance from the main menu, select All submenu, select Utilities, and then select Day Totals Calculation.

State Reporting attendance views processes all absences codes, both excused and unexcused, into absent day totals records. TEA requires only unexcused absences to be reported as truant. Adding a separate Attendance View that processes your unexcused absence attendance codes is the required method to handle this calculation.
