Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a new section to the Compulsory Education Law requiring the head of an educational institution or someone on their behalf to notify parents of their child's absence from school. The report must be made up to one hour after the start of classes, unless the parents gave notice of the absence in advance. The proposal refers to cases of children forgotten in a vehicle on the way to kindergarten or school, as well as absences without the parents' knowledge, and includes a general reporting duty to ensure that parents know at all times whether or not their child is at school.
