The MAISD provides a truancy officer to school districts that opt not to designate one of their own employees as a truancy officer. The MAISD truancy officer works with local school district officials to refer parents, identified by the school district as being in violation of the Michigan Compulsory School Attendance Law, to the Prosecutor for legal action.

Forms for the MAISD Truancy Referral Process are available to customize for use in your district:
