This guide is designed to help parents understand their children’s rights in the truancy process. It is not meant to provide legal advice. Students who want to learn more about their rights can also use this guide, but we recommend that they ask a trusted adult or youth advocate to help them through the process.
This guide provides general information regarding students' rights in truancy proceedings in Washington state public schools and juvenile courts. Different rules may apply in private schools, tribal schools and tribal courts.
