PR 26-0218 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Pilot Truancy Reduction Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

PR 26-0218, the "Pilot Truancy Reduction Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025," extends a one-year truancy pilot program in 5 District of Columbia schools until the final report on its outcomes is submitted. The resolution directs the Mayor to continue referring students with unexcused absences to the Department of Human Services (DHS) for intervention and documentation, using $3.38 million already allocated in the 2025 budget. It specifically extends the temporary act (passed September 2024) beyond its July 10, 2025, expiration date to allow time for the required August 15, 2025, final report. The resolution applies directly to students in the participating schools and DHS staff managing the interventions. This is a procedural extension, not a new policy change.
