05- 071 C.M.R. ch. 128, § 6
Local school administrative units are responsible for providing education for all children of compulsory school age who legally reside within the geographical area-of the units. If any child attends school outside the unit of legal residence and becomes truant in the receiving school, the superintendent or principal of the receiving school unit must notify the superintendent of the sending school unit and it becomes the responsibility of the sending unit to locate the truant child.
Once a child becomes an habitual truant, the principal of the public or private school of attendance shall forward to the superintendent of the sending unit all information relative to the unexcused absences of the habitual truant and which has been maintained on file. It then becomes the responsibility of the superintendent and school board to follow the procedures as outlined in the legislation.
