I support the Petition to Promulgate Regulations governing more specific reporting of truancy
 
I strongly support the Petition to Promulgate Regulations governing more specific reporting of truancy and truancy intervention efforts. 

This data will help the state tackle truancy by setting sound policies and targeting resources where they are most needed to help improve attendance and graduation rates.  Please grant the petitioners' request and draft these critical regulations.
