Ohio Revised Code Compliance
The South Central Ohio Educational Service Center as required by the Ohio Revised Code provides Attendance Services to all member schools as well as other districts that contract for these services. These schools report the Attendance problems to the ESC (Educational Service Center) via email and the Attendance Officers make home visits to determine how best to deal with the problem.
The Ohio Revised Code defines Truancy, and the local Juvenile Court sets rules on how the filing must take place.
The family must be served with a copy of the Ohio Revised Code section that requires the parents to have their children in an Educational Program that meets the standards set forth in this section. The Attendance Officer must do a First and Second Notice by Court Rule before a filing can take place.
Another problem that causes Attendance issues in schools is Pediculosis (head lice). Services to help control the spread of Pediculosis is available to schools that choose to contract for these services.
