A quick definition of truancy officer:

A truancy officer is someone who makes sure that kids go to school when they are supposed to. They are in charge of enforcing the laws that say kids have to go to school until they are a certain age, usually 16 or younger. Sometimes they are also called truant officers or attendance officers.

A more thorough explanation:

A truancy officer is a government official who is responsible for enforcing laws that require minors to attend school until a certain age, usually 16 or younger. They are also known as truant officers or attendance officers.

A truancy officer may visit the homes of students who have been absent from school without a valid excuse to investigate the reason for their absence.
Truancy officers may also work with school administrators to develop strategies to improve attendance and reduce truancy rates.

These examples illustrate how truancy officers work to ensure that students attend school regularly and receive the education they need to succeed in life. By enforcing laws and working with schools and families, truancy officers help to promote academic success and reduce the risk of dropping out of school.

@seventensplit: did you read RFelixFinch's reddit review of Spivey pro bono? He didn't mention race at all in his app to the program, and they accepted him based on unusual life/background/history

Don't hate me but I start law school in the fall and I'm realizing I would happily do the LSAT for three years instead

Any idea when Spivey will actually make selections? The deadline is June 29th to apply, so I'm betting they won't make any decisions before that point. Will they email you if you've been rejected or only if they accept you?

I've been out of school for a long time and I'm scared I won't remember how to be a student, or that I'm too used to sleeping full 8-hour nights

I've never been a study group guy in my whole life. Seems like that's the default in law school, though. Idk it's more than a year away for me so I shouldn't even be thinking about this sort of minutia, but like I wonder if study groups are actually tangibly helpful in law school? I bet that majorly depends on who is in your study group, but then they form at the beginning of the year before anybody knows eachother, and momentum just keeps them going even if they aren't great

I haven’t been much of a group study person either in my educational career. If you’re living on campus it won’t be too bad ; I think it mainly becomes an issue for those who live off campus or commute far
