06/20/02  Citizen D's comments on Truancy Courts

I appreciate Citizen D's comments but "D" needs to know by law only certain courts may handle truancy, such as Municipal Courts.

The DISD and County are picking up the tab for the 2 newly created city courts. 

You may recall certain JP Courts were eliminated last year.  JP's may hear truancy cases also.  

Since these newly created courts will only hear truancy cases, the hope is that by creating these 2 (maybe more later) specialized courts dedicated only to truancy, everyone will receive more consistent, efficient service.

Roxan Staff is the former President of the DISD School Board and is not running for another term.  Jack Lowe, Evan Brauman and Rick Finlan are running for her vacant seat.  DallasArena.com is endorsing Jack Lowe in that race.

                                        

    





                               

 

  Ward politics is the Devil's key to the soul of the city council.  It is how some council members got themselves in trouble in the past.  It is the bait that will get others in trouble in the future. 4/6/8
