We all know that the best way for students to learn is to be at school attending their classes. When students are absent from school with unexcused absences or truant, they are at risk in not doing well in their school work, as well as, engaging in criminal behavior.  Judge Cannata recently spoke to Sugr Land Rotarians about truancy prevention in Fort Bend County.
