Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know there is some concern among school boards that it shouldn't be seen as their responsibility to necessarily enforce the provisions of compulsory attendance. I think we all support compulsory attendance, and I think it's something that I shouldn't say we all do, I should say that there is, in general, widespread support for compulsory attendance. But unless there's a simple and effective means of enforcing it, is there any point to having it in the bill? I don't think that any of the school districts would feel that they have the resources to police and enforce compulsory attendance.

Is there going to be a territorial truant officer who is going to go around and police whether or not people have registered and are attending, or is this being left up to the general public or someone who is out there who notices a problem to make a complaint?
