No Pass/No Drive - KRS 159.051 applies to every public and private school district across Kentucky and results in the denial or revocation of a student driver's license for any of the following:

nine or more unexcused absences in one semester

Truancy
KRS 159.150.
DEFINITION OF TRUANCY
Any child who has been absent from school without valid excuse for three (3) or more days, or tardy without valid excuse on three (3) or more days, is a truant. Any child who has been reported as a truant three (3) or more times is a habitual truant. Being absent for less than half of a school day shall be regarded as being tardy. A local board of education may adopt reasonable policies that require students to comply with compulsory attendance laws, that require truants and habitual truants to make up unexcused absences, and that impose sanctions for noncompliance.
Chronic absenteeism keeps students from succeeding and often causes even bright, capable students to drop out of school. This process starts early in a student's educational career and builds momentum. Students start to fall behind, feel defeated, and finally just stop going to school.
The Key Is Not To
Let This Process Start!
Parents/Guardians must express high expectations relating to school success and attendance. It is important to foster positive attitudes about the importance of school. Good attendance must be enforced and reinforced.
First Signs of a Problem with Attendance:
- Excessive absences, excused and/or unexcused
- Resisting going to school, making excuses to stay home
- Poor grades/academic performance
- Being disruptive in school
- Associating with students who get into trouble
- Becoming increasingly defiant or disrespectful
- Cutting classes/skipping school
- Failing classes
- Expressing negative attitudes about school attendance
