The Senate Resolution urges the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Criminal Justice, the Louisiana Department of Education, and the Louisiana Supreme Court to provide truancy reports to the Senate Select Committee on Women and Children. This request is prompted by concerning statistics indicating that 45% of Louisiana children were truant during the 2021-2022 school year, a significant increase from 36% in the 2018-2019 school year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution emphasizes the importance of keeping the legislature informed about truancy issues, which have become increasingly critical.

The resolution highlights the roles of various state entities in addressing truancy, including the monitoring and evaluation programs established by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement, the STAR Task Force created by the Louisiana Department of Education, and the management of funds by the Louisiana Supreme Court for the Families in Need of Services Assistance Program. By directing these organizations to report their findings to the Senate Select Committee on Women and Children, the resolution aims to enhance legislative oversight and response to the growing truancy problem in Louisiana.
