Judicial Referral Process

Once all procedures specified above according to the law and school system are satisfied, a court referral will be made by the school resource officer. Truancy charges may be combined with a report to the Department of Family and Children's Services by the school social worker if there is evidence of additional maltreatment in combination with educational neglect. 

Once the court referral is made, guardians will be notified of a pre-warrant hearing, which they will be required to attend. If the guardian does not comply with the order of the judge and unexcused absences continue following this hearing, the guardian can be fined up to $100.00 and serve 30 days in jail. This is the decision of the judge. If the guardian fails to attend the hearing, a bench warrant will be issued. After the judge issues a bench warrant, a bond hearing will be held on that warrant. The warrant will be moved to Superior/Juvenile Court.
