of pupils throughout the school district; (b) Coordinate efforts to refer pupils who are truant to appropriate providers of
community services; and (c) Determine, based on the attendance, chronic absenteeism and truancy of pupils
at each school within the school district, whether to employ an attendance clerk for
a particular school or group of schools whose primary responsibility is to monitor
the attendance and truancy of pupils. 3. The Department shall adopt by regulation a definition of the term “chronic absenteeism.”
The board of trustees of each school district shall ensure that the actions taken
