Missing School Children

It shall be the policy of Butte School District No. 1 to:

1. Distribute to each school building, within the District, the list of missing school children provided by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
2. Notify the appropriate law enforcement agency of the earliest known contact with any child whose name appears on the list.
3. Establish procedures for attempting to contact, by the end of the school day, any parent, guardian, or legal custodian whose child is absent from school, but who has not reported the child as absent for the school day, to determine whether the parent, guardian, or legal custodian is aware of the child’s absence from school.

The Superintendent or designee will establish procedures to implement this policy.
