Attendance Supervisors
The Somerville Public Schools employs two full-time Supervisors of Attendance whose duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, investigating and accounting for the attendance of all compulsory school-age children ages 6-16, and to enforce laws relating to compulsory attendance. Under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 76, Section 20, the Supervisor of Attendance may apprehend and take to school, without a warrant, any truant or absentee found wandering in the streets or public places.
The Supervisors of Attendance are housed with Central Administrative Offices at 167 Holland Street but also move about the community during school hours to provide immediate service to students who are on the street or in public places. Contact information and school assignments are noted below.
