Wichita County approves MOU with WFISD to formalize truancy court support

Judge Hughes described the county’s long-running truancy program to the commissioners and said the MOU would formalize arrangements that had not been revised in several years. He said the program brings families to court to raise school attendance, holds sessions three days a week and uses confidentiality practices to avoid exposing students’ private matters. "We hold court 3 days a week," Judge Hughes said, describing the process of calling individual cases and coordinating with school attendance officers.
