Types of programs DCBPS supports two types of truancy prevention services. Court-Based Programs provide community-based family support case management to families referred by the Regional Truancy Court. The Increasing School Attendance Initiative serves families with children who have not yet been referred to court but have accumulated between 8 and 24 unexcused absences. Philosophy The Office of Truancy Prevention believes that truancy is an early indicator or warning of some measure of dysfunction occurring for the child, family and/or community. In other words, truant children are frequently experiencing the effects of poverty, lack of family cohesion, child abuse/neglect, community violence and/or behavioral and physical health problems. Thus, the Office of Truancy Prevention supports community-based programs that empower families and provide resources to help them better manage their lives. Through continuous development and capacity building of individuals, families and communities, these programs aim to create and maintain a preventive net of support that families may utilize to maximize their opportunity to succeed.

NORM MALENG KING COUNTY PROSECUTING ATTORNEY Truancy Legal Forms At-Risk Youth Spotlight on Success ... Office Overview Welcome to the King County Prosecutor's Office Truancy Web site. I believe that this site will be useful to parents, students, school districts, and anyone who has an interest in helping our young people stay in school. As many of you know, I have been deeply committed to enforcing our state's truancy laws. I support these laws not only because I believe young people should attend school, but I also believe these laws are an effective tool for early detection and intervention of children at risk. I am proud to say that our truancy law is working in King County. Many young people have returned to school because schools, courts, and community volunteers are intervening in truancy prevention efforts. Although we will never know how many of these children would have entered the criminal justice system, we do know that every child returned to school has a better chance to travel a different path. I ask each of you browsing this web site to consider finding some way to support your local school or Community Truancy Board. Reaching out to a troubled young person in need may be just enough for them to make a different life choice. Young people are our future. Thank you.

Truancy Prevention Through Mediation Program What is Truancy Mediation? The mediation process consists of an informal meeting where people come together with a mediator to talk about the causes of truancy and how those problems can be resolved. The mediator is a neutral person who does not take sides. The role of the mediator is to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to speak, that all sides understand each other, and that both families and schools work together to resolve issues. Truancy Mediation is not about winning or losing. Why Mediation?

This site is hosted by Netfirms Web Hosting Truancy Unexcused, excessive absence from school. Truancy has been labeled one of the top ten major problems in this country’s schools, negatively affecting the future of our youth. In fact, absentee rates have reached as high as 30% in some cities. While no national data on the extent of truancy exists, we know that in some cities unexcused absences can number in the thousands each day. In Pittsburgh, each day approximately 3,500 students or 12% of the pupil population is absent and about 70% of these absences are unexcused. In Philadelphia, about 2,500 students are absent each day without an excuse. In Milwaukee, on any given school day, there are approximately 4, 000 unexcused absences. In 1996, in Miami more than 71 percent of 13 to 16 year-olds prosecuted for criminal violations had been truant. In Minneapolis, daytime crime dropped 68% after police began citing truants In 1999 in New York City, about 150,00 out of 1,000,000 were absent daily. Truancy is often symptomatic of family dysfunction and it affects the student, the family, and the community.

11. Final Evaluation Report Of The Truancy Prevention Through Mediation Program Final Evaluation Report of the truancy prevention Through Mediation Program. The following is excerpted from the Final Evaluation http://www.disputeresolution.ohio.gov/cc/truancysummary.htm

Final Evaluation Report of the Truancy Prevention Through Mediation Program The following is excerpted from the Final Evaluation Report of the Truancy Prevention Through Mediation Program for the 2000 - 2001 school year, for programs established in Butler, Delaware, Franklin, Lawrence, Lucas, Ross, and Stark Counties. The data was evaluated and the report produced by Luminesce Consulting, Columbus, Ohio. The Truancy Prevention through Mediation Program During the 2000-2001 school year, the Truancy Prevention through Mediation Program was utilized in seven counties and 58 elementary and middle schools. In total, over 1,700 mediations were scheduled this school year. In each of the counties, a significant reduction in the number of absences and tardies was demonstrated for those students/families that participated in the program. Furthermore, Truancy Prevention through Mediation Program participants had extremely positive outlooks regarding their satisfaction with the mediation, feeling validated during the mediation, and recognizing mediation as a viable tool for resolving similar issues in the future. As indicated above, the purpose of the mediation is to come to an agreement which addresses the root cause[s] of the student's attendance problem. With the help of the neutral mediator, the parent or guardian and the school representative - usually the student's teacher - reach that agreement. The parties were able to design appropriate resolutions for all the issues an average of 86% of the time, and on at least some of the issues over 90% of the time.

The district is a small suburban two-school district in a mostly middle class area; however, about 1/5 of the students qualify for free and reduced meals. The overall state graduation rate is 66%. Test scores have risen as well. Juvenile Justice Bulletin , OJJDP. This is a review of several programs designed to reduce the dropout rate. As such, it deals with truancy only tangentially. It is primarily a summary of the Urban Institute's evaluation of the Communities in Schools (CIS) Model, designed to serve high-risk youth. Among other benefits, students reported that CIS helped them improve their attendance and stop skipping school or classes. A majority of the students surveyed expressed the desire to graduate from high school and go on to college or technical school. There are currently over 1,000 CIS sites across the country. Other programs reviewed include The Associated Marine Institutes, Families and Schools Together, Jobs for Ohio's Graduates, two alternative schools called the Mat-Su Alternative School and the Toms River Alternative Learning Center, and the National Dropout Prevention Center/Network!

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Manual to Combat Truancy July 1996 Prepared by the U.S. Department of Education in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Justice The Problem of Truancy in America's Communities Truancy is the first sign of trouble; the first indicator that a young person is giving up and losing his or her way. When young people start skipping school, they are telling their parents, school officials and the community at large that they are in tr ouble and need our help if they are to keep moving forward in life. Research data tells us that students who become truant and eventually drop out of school put themselves at a long term disadvantage in becoming productive citizens. High school dropouts, for example, are two and a half times more likely to be on welfare than high school graduates. In 1995, high school dropouts were almost twice as likely to be unemployed as high school graduates. In addition, high school dropouts who are employed earn much lower salaries. Students who become truant and eventually drop out of high school too often set themselves up for a life of struggle. Truancy is a gateway to crime. High rates of truancy are linked to high daytime burglary rates and high vandalism. According to the Los Angeles County Office of Education, truancy is the most powerful predictor of juvenile delinquent behavior.

The volunteers receive college credit for their work with youth. Each volunteer is assigned to either a high school or a junior high school and three or four grade schools. Volunteers are required to have weekly contact with each school and must monitor the attendance of each participant at the assigned school.
