A family with service needs complaint may be filed only after the school has exhausted all available options to rectify the problem. A complaint may be found insufficient if it does not include the following as required by state law including but not limited to C.G.S. Sec. 10-198a: ("X" box if action as been taken) A meeting was held with the parent of the child who is truant and appropriate school personnel reviewed and evaluated the reasons for the child being truant and such meeting was held not later than ten school days after the child's fourth unexcused absence in a month or the tenth unexcused absence in a school year. Coordination of services and referrals for said child were made to community agencies providing child and family services. Parent was annually at the beginning of the school year and upon any enrollment during the school year, informed in writing of the obligations of the parent or other person having control of the child pursuant to C.G.S. Sec. 10-184. Reasonable efforts to notify, by telephone, the parent or other person having control of the child were made by school personnel whenever said child failed to report to school on a regularly scheduled school day and no indication was received by school personnel that the child's parent or other person having control of the child was aware of the pupil's absence. If records are incomplete or do not exist please attach an explanation for the Court. TYPE OF REFERRAL THE ABOVE FAMILY IS A FAMILY WITH SERVICE NEEDS BECAUSE IT INCLUDES A CHILD WHO IS (PLACE AN "X" IN THE APPROPRIATE BOX(ES)): TRUANT (Four (4) unexcused absences in one month or Ten (10) unexcused absences in a school year) HABITUALLY TRUANT (Twenty (20) unexcused absences in a school year) DEFIANT (Continuously and overtly defiant of school rules and regulations)
