SARB

Welcome to the Shasta County Office of Education School Attendance Review Board (SARB) website. The local School Attendance Review Board (SARB) works directly with students and their parents to resolve issues in the area of attendance and/or behavior. The SARB process within Shasta County is extremely effective due to the commitment, cooperation & support of compassionate individuals beginning at the school site up to and including the Court.

The goal of SARB is to reduce or eliminate a student's truancy and excessive absences from school and to increase their opportunity for school success.

Shasta County Office of Education has continued an on-going commitment to both local and county School Attendance Review Boards. County and local SARBs were established by Education Code 48321 in order to:

• maximize the use of all available resources and services
• avoid unnecessary duplication of resources to resolve attendance and behavior problems, and
• divert from the juvenile justice system students with school-related problems.

There are many dedicated people involved with SARB in Shasta County. Thanks to all who work so many hours to keep children in school. Your efforts and support are greatly appreciated.
