) - Some 15,000 families have received letters from the District Attorney’s Office demanding they attend truancy sessions, but some question the validity of the attendance data.
“It is a high number because we’ve seen truancy rates that have been exploding over the last few years,” Blackwood said. “And this is one effort to try to get that truancy rate under control, which is important for crime prevention.” Philips also told FOX10 News that parents should have received notices of attendance problems during the school year. But Susan Couture told FOX10 News that was no the case.Another parent wrote in a message to FOX10 News: “Can y’all please looking into why so many parents in Mobile County School System got truancy letters from the DA Office to appear on court. It seems like a glitch or something.”
Blackwood and Philips said people who believe they received truancy letters in error should contact their children’s school. “There are gonna be as many different situations as there were letters that went out,” he said. “And there’s only so much that we can do to accommodate 15,000 different situations. With a backlog of early-warning truancy cases this big, we felt that it was important to provide the largest venue that we could get to get through this backlog as quickly as possible.”
