LaBonge Motion to Curb Truancy

After a recent study indicated that many truants are still on campus during school hours, Councilmember LaBonge moved to address the issue. He introduced a motion that directs the City Attorney to draft an ordinance that would allow for enforcing truancy laws on school grounds.
The councilman's motion also allows for citing students on first offense. The motion will be heard in the Council's Education and Neighborhoods Committee next Tuesday, September 22nd at 3:30 p.m.
