(a) Subject to the rules and policies of the board of

(i) Counsel with students, parents, guardians or
custodians and teachers; and to investigate the causes of
unexcused absences, habitual truancy and willful absenteeism;
(ii) Give written notice to the parent, guardian, or
custodian of any child having an unexcused absence that the
attendance of such child at school is required by law under W.S.
21-4-102 and local board rules pursuant to W.S. 21-3-
110(a)(xxxix). If after such notice has been given, the child

or local board of trustees rules under W.S. 21-3-110(a)(xxxix)
and the attendance officer reasonably believes that the
unexcused absences were due to neglect as defined in W.S. 14-3-
202(a)(vii), willful absenteeism or habitual truancy, the
attendance officer shall proceed in accordance with W.S. 21-4-
107.
