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 Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement, which oversees Truancy Assessment Service Centers, and the Louisiana Department of Education, which established the Success Through Attendance Recovery (STAR) Task Force. Additionally, the Louisiana Supreme Court manages funds for the Families in Need of Services Assistance Program. By directing these organizations to report 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.
