STUDENT/SCH ATTENDANCE: Creates a study group to study truancy, including potentially adjusting the student count methodology used in the public school funding formula in the effort to address truancy

HR 180 creates a study group to examine truancy in Louisiana public schools and assess whether changes to how student attendance is counted could better address the issue. The group will specifically review if adjustments to the current attendance-based method used in school funding formulas are needed. This bill directly affects public schools, as funding decisions rely on student attendance data. The study aims to evaluate if modifying how attendance is measured would improve school funding accuracy and truancy outcomes.
