Algonquin adopts truancy ordinance
ALGONQUIN – Students could face a fine from the village if they’re absent from school without a valid reason.
The Village Board on Tuesday passed a truancy ordinance. The first offense will carry a $75 fine for the student. A second offense will carry a fine of $150 each for the student and parent or guardian – a total of $300.
The truancy ordinance came up after discussions between village’s school resource officer at H.D. Jacobs High School and the school’s administration.
