Attendance & Truancy

Lynchburg City Schools has a Truancy Center located at the School Administration Building, 915 Court Street. The Truancy Center is staffed with four Lynchburg City School employees who accept truancy referrals from the individual schools and process the cases to the court. An Interagency Truancy Review Team is in place to review truancy cases and write recommendations for the Juvenile Court. 

LCS staff work with the Lynchburg Department of Human Services to monitor "learnfare" cases. The code of Virginia requires families who receive assistance (TANF) have their children attend school regularly.
