The Senate took no action on a House-passed bill to give school districts the power to disenroll any student they deemed to be a “habitual truant” if the school claimed it could not reach the child’s parents. The bill contained no definition of “habitual truant,” and the ACLU claimed it would give schools the power to remove “problem” students who are entitled to an education.
