With the stricter consequences, this is normal for the referral rate to spike due to students receiving 2nd and 3rd tardy warnings. • Truancy ranged from 4 referrals per day in Aug. 08 to 17 in Aug. 09. • Truancy ranges from 9 referrals per day in Sept. 08 to 17 in Sept. 09. Truancy has not increased so far this year due to the larger volume of calls home. Target Area Tardiness and Truancy
