HB 611 | The Kentucky General Assembly has passed a new law, HB 611, aimed at addressing student attendance. This legislation mandates that students throughout Kentucky who accumulate 15 or more unexcused absences be referred to their local County Attorney's office. The goal of HB 611 is to reduce unexcused absences, promote consistent attendance, and ensure students receive the support they need to stay engaged in school.
To comply with the new law, JCPS will begin the mandatory referral process to the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office (JCAO) this month.
