Lancaster editorial board: truancy "should be decriminalized"
Citing ELC's commentary and referencing the 2014 death of Eileen DiNino, who was imprisoned in Berks County, PA for failing to pay a truancy fine, the LNP News Editorial Board wrote that: "Truancy is a problem throughout Pennsylvania and varies dramatically from county to county. But criminalization is not now, nor has it ever been, an effective response to truancy."
