Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)
This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
When a child is already part of a dependency case and gets a truancy hearing scheduled, the county agency must let the dependency court and everyone involved in that case know about it.
This means the agency takes the truancy hearing notice and sends copies to the dependency court and all the parties in the dependency case. The goal is to make sure everyone handling the child's dependency case stays informed about what is happening with the truancy matter.
Committee Notes
Pursuant to 24 P.S. § 13-1333.2(b)(1), the court in which a truancy citation or complaint is filed shall provide the county agency with written notice of the hearing. For definition of ‘‘person in parental relation,’’ see 24 P.S. § 13-1326.
The President Judge may adopt local rules coordinating jurisdiction and proceedings between the judge of the court where the citation or complaint was filed and the dependency court judge. Coordination may include, but is not limited to, the entry of an order staying the truancy proceeding for further consideration by the dependency court.
