that occur during the school year. The department assists the schools
with the school/parent meetings, prepares all the documents necessary
for the expulsion hearings, and participates in the hearings. The department
is also part of the Threat Assessment team. This involves working with
the schools to ascertain all incidents that occur at the school and
with the students. The department handles numerous phone calls that
range from custody issues to questions regarding the education code
or penal code. Child Welfare and Attendance is a service-oriented department.
