一项2021年的法律将逃学案件转移到了紧张的系统,使得北达科他州学校无法解决影响23%以上学生的长期缺勤问题。 A 2021 law moved truancy cases to a strained system, leaving North Dakota schools unable to address chronic absenteeism affecting over 23% of students.

Grand Forks的北达科他州学校校长警告说,2021年的一项法律将逃学案件从少年法院转到CHINS系统,使得学校没有有效工具来对付长期旷课现象,23%以上的学生经常失学。 North Dakota school leaders in Grand Forks are warning that a 2021 law shifting truancy cases from juvenile courts to the CHINS system has left schools without effective tools to combat chronic absenteeism, with over 23% of students missing school frequently. 虽然此举旨在减少学校到监狱的管道，官员表示CHINS资金不足且人手不足，该州东北地区所有转诊均由一名工作人员负责。 While the change aimed to reduce the school-to-prison pipeline, officials say CHINS is underfunded and understaffed, with one worker handling all referrals for the state’s northeast region. 学校现在很难在缺乏足够资源的情况下支持家庭,也没有计划立即改变政策,尽管未来在州长关注保健和公众服务时可能会引起注意。 Schools now struggle to support families without adequate resources, and no immediate policy changes are planned, though future attention may come during the governor’s focus on health and human services.
