WARNING NOTICE
TO PARENTS OR PERSONS STANDING IN PARENTAL RELATION TO CHILDREN:
THE STATE OF TEXAS, COUNTY OF ORANGE
In accordance with the state compulsory Attendance Law (Sec.25.093 or Sec. 25.094 Education Code), any parent or person standing in parental relation to a child within the compulsory school attendance age and not lawfully exempt or properly excused from school attendance fails to require such child to attend school for periods as required by law beginning the 24 day of August, 2009.
It shall be the duty of the proper attendance officer to warn, in writing, the parent/person standing in parental relation that attendance must be immediately required. If after this warning the parent/person standing in parental relation intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence fails to require the child to attend school as required by law, and the child has unexcused voluntary absences for the amount of time specified under Section 51.03 (B) (2) Family Code, the parent/person standing in parental relation commits an offense. The attendance officer shall file a complaint in the Justice of Peace Court of his resident precinct, or Municipal Court of the City of Bridge City. Each day after the warning has been given may constitute a separate offense.
Sincerely,
George Navarro, Attendance Officer BCISD
