The Truancy tool allows you to create and manage truancy records for individual students within a school. Each time a student is truant, a new truancy record can be created and managed on the Truancy tab.

Information captured on this tab reports in the Student Record Collection (SRC). 

In order for this tool to work correctly, Start Date and End Date values must be entered on the Active school year in the School Years tool.
