The Pilot Truancy Reduction Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to address truancy in the District of Columbia by establishing a pilot program involving five secondary educational institutions with high truancy rates. By August 12, 2024, the Mayor is required to identify these institutions, which must refer students aged 14 to 17 to the Department of Human Services (DHS) after 15 unexcused absences. The Mayor must notify the schools of their participation at least 10 business days before the school year begins, and the DHS is tasked with publishing reports on the interventions and outcomes of the program by March 31, 2025, and August 15, 2025.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the analysis of attendance outcomes, academic performance, and delinquency status of referred students compared to their peers and previous years. Educational institutions participating in the pilot will be exempt from certain requirements for the specified age group. The act will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period, and it is set to expire 225 days after its enactment.
