Current Narrative:
Louisiana R.S. 17:221, states that “Every parent, tutor, or other person residing within the state of Louisiana having control or charge of any child from that child’s seventh birthday until his eighteenth birthday shall send such child to a public or private day school, unless the child graduates from high school prior to his eighteenth birthday shall send such child to a public or private day school, unless the child graduates from high school prior to his eighteenth birthday.” For the purpose of this plan, this age range is considered the “age of compulsory school attendance.”
For the purpose of this plan, the definition of “not attending school” is any youth who is within the age of compulsory school attendance, but has not attended school for at least the most recent completed school year calendar quarter. A school-year calendar quarter is based on how a local school district defines its school year quarters.
