twenty twenty six, the Government's introducing a stepped attendance response
with absence thresholds triggering school and ministry responses. Shannon Johnstone
(00:28):
has more.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Schools will work out their own systems, but an example
could see it contacting parents after five days absence, discussing
why their child's away and setting expectations. After ten days,
school leadership would talk with the students and parents to
develop plans to address barriers. After fifteen days, the response
would be escalated to the ministry, with prosecuting parents. One possibility.

(01:57):

engineer within Transpower raised concerns in twenty twenty one that
those doing foundation work had knowledge gaps. Northend MP Grant
