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 tool.

Information captured in this tool is reported in the Student Record Collection (SRC). 

For this tool to work correctly, the Start Date and End Date values must be entered for the active school year in the School Years tool.
