The Ventura County Star’s lead story this morning reports on the Supreme Court’s recent grant of review in In re A.N. The article, by Cheri Carlson, says the county public defender “has argued that the District Attorney’s Office short-circuited the legal system, filing a truancy case against [A.N.] before she had a chance to go before a Student Attendance Review Board, or SARB.” The Second District, Division Six, Court of Appeal rejected that argument.
The Star has been covering this case and the county’s truancy system in general.
