Student Welfare Check Amendments

Summary

The bill directs local education agencies to request a welfare check for any student who has been absent for ten consecutive days when the parent has not notified the school, filed a homeschool affidavit, unenrolled the student, or responded to school outreach. The referral must be made to local law enforcement or the Division of Child and Family Services and does not prevent the agency from taking other actions. It is intended to protect students whose whereabouts are unknown.
