After last school year saw a dramatic increase in truancy cases among McHenry County students, the McHenry County Board is considering adding a truancy investigator to the regional office of education. Currently, just one person handles all the truancy cases throughout McHenry County, which includes about 47,000 students. A new hire would take some of the work away from McHenry County Regional Office of Education truancy officer Tim Dempsey.
