Deprivation based on repeated absence from school
Official statutory text
A. In cases where the child has been adjudicated to be deprived
due to repeated absence from school, the court may order counseling
and treatment for the child and the parents.
B. Prior to final disposition, the court shall require
verification by the appropriate school district that the child found
to be truant has been evaluated for literacy, learning disabilities,
developmental disabilities, hearing and visual impairment, and other
impediments which could constitute an educational handicap. The
results of such assessments or evaluations shall be made available
to the court for use by the court in determining the disposition of
the case.
C. No child who has been adjudicated deprived upon the basis of
noncompliance with the mandatory school attendance law alone may be
placed in a public or private institutional facility or be removed

from the custody of the lawful parent, legal guardian, or custodian
of the child.
D. A deprived adjudication based solely upon repeated absence
from school shall not constitute a ground for termination of
parental rights.
