January/February 2004 Volume III Number 1 J. Robert Flores OJJDP Administrator Truancy Reduction: Keeping Youth in School and Out of Trouble In 1998, OJJDP, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Weed and Seed, and the U.S. Department of Education’s Safe and Drug-Free Schools Office initiated the Truancy Reduction Demonstration Program. The goal of the program is to encourage communities to develop comprehensive approaches to identifying and tracking truant youth and reducing truancy. A key concept in this initiative is collaboration among community members, which is important because it produces a shared vision, maximizes existing resources, and results in a blend of services to address the range of issues related to truancy. Programs are overseen at the community level by a multiagency group. Participation in this collaborative by schools, law enforcement, and courts is essential for success in reducing truancy. Collaborative participants are also drawn from social services agencies, health organizations, probation, businesses, and faith-based organizations. An evaluation of the Truancy Reduction Demonstration Program (see below) has found that stability of the oversight collaborative is critical to success. Involvement of parents in all truancy reduction activities is also crucial. Communities participating in this initiative are implementing a variety of programs that link truant youth with community-based services and programs. Examples of activities include community truancy boards, truancy workshops, and community awareness campaigns. Truancy case managers usually work directly with youth and families, making home visits, monitoring school attendance, providing tutoring, and referring youth and families to community agencies as needed.

back to Project Alliance News Archives Fall 1999 Middlesex Truancy Prevention Program By Jaffar Diab and Christine Shaw, Truancy Prevention Program Coordinators In the past 1998-1999 school year, the Middlesex District Attorney's Office expanded its Truancy Prevention Program and funded 26 anti-truancy initiatives throughout the county. Collaborating with sc hool, police, and community officials, the District Attorney's Office participated in programs designed to prevent truancy, often the first indicator of possible trouble in a young persons life. Several lessons and policy innovations were realized as a result of this program. In order to develop an effective response to truancy, districts must examine their own communities, develop clear policies founded on laws and statutes, and must apply their regulations consistently and uniformly. Officials must examine the issues in their communities that perpetuate and encourage non-attendance in school. Do these factors require social service intervention and if so, what kinds of services are available? To begin effectively focusing on these issues, districts must also develop a clear and consistent message to students, faculty, administration, parents, and the community as a whole. The most effective policies are the ones that re disseminated widely, applied consistently, and include the following: a school statement of purpose for the policy applicable laws and regulations around truancy and attendance descriptions about the increasing levels of school response and their sanctions.

June 12, 2004 Truancy: A Serious Problem for Students, Schools, and Society Online Event - May 3-14, 2004 Truancy, or unexcused absence from school, can threaten students' academic progress and serve as an indicator of dysfunction in many other domains. Left unaddressed, truancy can contribute to a myriad of problems for young people during the school years and into adulthood. This event will examine the root causes and potential consequences of truancy, identify strategies that can be used to promote student attendance at school, and review interventions designed to stop students' progression from truancy into more serious antisocial behaviors. This event will be facilitated from May 3 to 7, and the discussion board will remain “live” through May 14. We encourage participants to use this second week for continued peer-to-peer discussion. During this second week, Center staff will periodically monitor the discussion area for any critical questions left unanswered and pass these along for the experts to address. This event is designed to help school coordinators understand both the nature of truancy among young people and how to create or refine your schools' prevention plans to include truancy.

49. Community Response To Truancy For any prevention effort, but especially when it comes to truancy prevention, a collaborative approach is needed that engages schools and a comprehensive http://sss.usf.edu/html/MiscFiles/SchoolAttend.htm

Research indicates that youth who are truant are more likely to drop out of school, making it more difficult to become productive citizens. Truancy has also been found to be associated with substance abuse, gang activity, and involvement in criminal activities such as burglary, auto theft, shoplifting, and vandalism. The critical first step in preventing truancy is for schools to have a clear attendance policy and to ensure that all students and parents are made aware of their responsibilities and the sanctions that will be imposed if students are absent. The attendance policy should explain why regular attendance is important and also identify the steps that schools will take to intervene with students who are absent. Schools and other partners should find effective ways to publicize the policy, taking into account language barriers and different cultural practices Community Responses to Truancy: Engaging Students in School Every day, hundreds of thousands of youth are absent from school, many with no valid reason. Truancy is the first sign of trouble for youth; it is the first indicator that a child is giving up and losing his or her way. When young people start skipping school, it is a signal to their parents, school officials, and the community at large that they are in trouble and need our help if they are to keep moving forward in life. Featured Programs Truancy Resource Guide Useful Web Sites For any prevention effort, but especially when it comes to truancy prevention, a collaborative approach is needed that engages schools and a comprehensive array of community resources such as social services, mental health organizations, community-based organizations, probation officers, law enforcement, the courts, the business community, parents, and faith-based organizations. These partnerships are critical to ensuring that students and families can access the resources needed and reinforce the fact that truancy is a communitywide problem.

StarrPoints School Issues Article S C H O O L I S S U E S A R T I C L E Tackling Teen Truancy Every day, hundreds of thousands of students across the United States are absent from school without a legitimate excuse. Every year, cities, states, and school districts across the country announce new initiatives designed to entice, counsel, threaten, or coerce kids into attending school. Most of those programs are based on the assumption that the causes and solutions of habitual truancy lie within the family. The truants, however, disagree. Last week, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino announced that the school district's truant officers are being equipped with cell phones and software that will give them immediate access to any student's date of birth, address, emergency phone numbers, and class schedule. Eventually, according to the mayor, the phones also will be able to access outstanding arrest warrants. The cell phones will help truant officers determine the validity of the myriad excuses (and alibis?) they encounter when they approach students found off school grounds during school hours. "Our goal is to make sure every student is in class and getting the education they deserve,'' Menino said.

(TASC) Louisiana ’s statewide truancy project was created by the state’s legislature to reduce truancy among children in K-5 th grade by screening them to identify those at high risk for truancy and other academic/behavioral problems. T ASC conducts assessments to determine the needs of the child and family and mandates participation of the child and family in appropriate interventions. The purpose of the project is to intervene with truants early to address the problem before the behavior becomes entrenched and intransigent.

Safe Schools Law Enforcement Partnership Safe School Teams Safe School Plans ... Safety Concerns The San Juan Unified School District is committed to providing a safe learning environment for all students. Students are generally safer at school than anywhere else in the community. In the San Juan district 99% of students attend school with no serious safety or discipline problems. According to the district's annual school survey, more than 80% of students, parents and staff believe their school is a safe place. Sometimes community problems do come to school with students. The district has and continues to develop programs to promote student health and safety. *Safe Schools Law Enforcement Partnership This program, which began in 1988, involves 6 dedicated Sacramento County Sheriff's deputies working each school day with San Juan schools on prevention and enforcement activities. Through this program the Sheriff's Department drug detection dogs are available to be used at San Juan schools. The program also provides speakers for parent groups. For more information about the San Juan Safe Schools Program *Safe School Teams In 1994, San Juan was one of the first districts in the state to work with the Attorney General's Office on a model program to establish safety teams at each school which include the principal, parents, students, teachers, other school staff, and community members. Several times a year school teams meet as a group - the San Juan Safe Schools Task Force. Task Force meetings provide each school team with updated safety information and training. The district has established a Safe Schools Resource Center which makes safety information, videos and other material available to all school safety teams. In addition, the district provides special safety training for staff, for example first-aid training.
