Step One (3-5 days truant): Call or email Marie Levang and ask that a letter notifying the family of the truancies be sent.
Step Two (additional absences): Notify Marie if the school wishes to set up a truancy mediation meeting with the county attorney's office. The county attorney's office will mail a letter to the student and parent inviting them to the meeting. School staff needs to bring attendance records and background information to the meeting.
Step Three (minimum of seven unexcused absences): School completes Truancy Referral form (see below) and sends it along with attendance records to Tamra Jokela via email or mail (OTC Huaman Services, Attn: Tamra Jokela, 530 West Fir Ave, Fergus Falls, MN 56537) to make a referral for court action.
