However, there are alternative schools that have shorter days but mostly for high schoolers. If a child has 3 or more unexcused absences, the law requires the school begin to intercede for the child's attendance issues. I must assure you that the school is aware of their attendance and is addressing it. However, please call 911 to report a possible child out of school and they will follow with the child not being in school (I have done that before and it works). Thanks for looking out for this family in need (it seems). I hope this helps.<br />God bless,<br />James Nelson<br />(a thankful MPS employee)James Nelsonhttp://www.UpperWHO.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-51375941806096634412010-04-22T10:24:18.415-05:002010-04-22T10:24:18.415-05:00Mpls Pub Schools earliest release is 1:50PM, unles...Mpls Pub Schools earliest release is 1:50PM, unless it is an AM Kindergarten classes (of which there a very few 1/2 day programs left).

I've seen them running down Broadway and behind me on Golden Valley around 1 or so, so I assumed that there's a school around here that lets out at that time (there are some in Cincy that do). I figured it's that or a truant officer would get them (unless there are none here?).<br /><br />Anon, I posted my Facebook yesterday, but such is the comment system that it went by quickly. I'll do it one more time. I attached it to my Blogger profile, but I'll be damned if I can find it.<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/ruth.woytsekla_vie_en_rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891785583402534770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-21728201243245555092010-04-21T22:48:32.396-05:002010-04-21T22:48:32.396-05:00Parents.

That's what it is. <br /><br />If you can nail down the house where kids don't go to school all day, I think you should contact CPS. Some of these kids have fallen out of the system and it's not like the schools are going to call CPS. They may be under the impression the kids are in a different district.Johnny Northside!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18182711866120550770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-71844131666614887462010-04-21T21:26:22.829-05:002010-04-21T21:26:22.829-05:00Have to tell you, I loved, loved, loved the youtub...Have to tell you, I loved, loved, loved the youtube video of you avoiding being served on the mpls mirror site.

I never see anything and I've asked neighbors there to call me if anything at all concerning happens over there so I can start a phone chain to get faster action as appropriate. I haven't had any phone calls at all. We need to have zero tolerance (whether that involves the police or working with the residents residing there or calling the land lord, etc.) Also, I'll be looking for the MPD action alert on this. I get them all for the UWHO area and forward them to the entire list so we can all be on alert for each other. I'll check with the neighbors and the landlord/rental company to make sure we're all workin' together to bring peace and safety to ALL concerned. Great job John.

Are there a lot of schools that let out early here, are there a lot of homeschooled children, or are there really that many parents who just don't give a damn? If it's the latter, that's a huge shame.la_vie_en_rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891785583402534770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-79228925417833606992010-04-21T09:49:24.325-05:002010-04-21T09:49:24.325-05:00I think in the interest of full disclosure we need...I think in the interest of full disclosure we need to find out who snitched and post their name and adderess here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
