Bettencourt said one bill would address data collection to understand the scope of the problem. According to data from the Texas Education Agency, there were a combined 132,125 cases of truancy last school year for Houston, Katy, Cy-Fair, Galveston, Conroe, Fort Bend, and Spring school districts. Bettencourt said this data will help determine where more resources are needed. A student is considered truant if they have 10 or more unexcused absences in a six-month period.
Bettencourt said another bill would help create a set of best practices in how schools tackle the problem of chronically truant students. How schools currently address this problem varies from district to district.
