Abstract: Truancy laws have an interesting history in America. In the past, truancy laws were rarely enforced and resulted in the student's removal from school rather than troubleshooting the bigger issues that led to their absenteeism. Today, legislators are holding the families of truant students accountable and requiring school districts to keep a close eye on attendance records, especially since truancy has been strongly linked to delinquency, drug involvement, and criminal activity. There are proponents and opponents of tightening truancy laws in the United States. Many districts have adopted truancy prevention programs in order to combat absenteeism in U.S. schools.
