School Attendance Review Board - SARB
The mission of the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) is to help students stay in school, attend school regularly and graduate.
SARB is a community-based effort to bring together resources to assist families with attendance, truancy and behavior issues. The SARB level is the last chance to keep students and families out of the court system. SARB’s intervention with each student begins after a completed referral packet has been received from the respective school.
A serious attendance problem often begins with a few unexcused absences. Counselors, teachers, nurses, school police officers and a school attendance review team may be brought in to help students at the school site level. When the school has exhausted all resources and a student's attendance has not improved, then a family may be referred to a SARB hearing.
