Legislate to ban FPNs and prosecutions related to school attendance
- 132,431 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 135,048 - 186 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe school fines & prosecutions do not help to improve school attendance. They are a blunt, ineffective tool & they do not tackle the root cause of attendance difficulties. I'm proposing the law is changed to ban FPNs & prosecutions. This will encourage collaboration rather than punishment.
