Middlesex District Attorney Martha Coakley Training and Education Through this division, our office can fulfill its commitment to bringing high level training and valuable resources to law enforcement, business and higher education.

GIS Integration and Analysis for Truancy Prevention and Early Juvenile Intervention Services in Chesapeake, Virginia Author: Michael L. Fitchett Organization: City of Chesapeake, Virginia 300 Shea Drive Chesapeake, VA 23328 USA Phone: Fax: fitchett@dit.city.chesapeake.va.us Juvenile Court Services in Chesapeake, Virginia, has been designated as one of the pilot agencies in the development of a locally based juvenile court records application through the Department of Justice Byrne Grant. A partnership has been achieved of local and State agencies including court services, police, schools, human services, Sheriff, Health Department, and others. From disparate systems the City has developed a shared database system to provide better services for at-risk juveniles. In conjunction with that database is an Intranet thin-client based application and the City's geographic information system. GIS and spatial analysis are being utilized to help identify at-risk students and support truancy prevention and early intervention services.

Suzanne Lawson, Director of Pupil Personnel Services Wise County Schools slawson@wise.k12.va.us According to information provided by the U. S. Department of Education in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Justice in the "Manual to Combat Truancy," truancy is a multi-faceted problem which requires a comprehensive approach. Additionally, recent research on resiliency indicates that focusing on strengthening students' protective factors is more effective than a punitive approach. With these factors in mind, the Wise County School System's truancy prevention program will encompass the following elements: Tutor/Mentor Program -to assist students who are struggling academically and to provide a positive role model to promote resiliency; Advocacy Program -to provide case management services to consider the individual and unique needs of students and to match those needs with appropriate school and community resources; Alternative School -to serve the needs of those students who are not successful in regular school programs.

Acushnet Dartmouth Fairhaven Fall River ... Building Permits Combat truancy by making school worth attending I didn't go to the dentist for years. I knew the probable consequences cavities, loose wisdom teeth, chipped molars but immediate fears of the drill, the hygienist's scorn and the financial costs all outweighed the potential benefits of prevention. The longer I waited, the more embarrassed I became, but shame didn't move me. I was a dental truant, avoiding what I knew was good for me. I've thought a lot about truancy lately. Now that MCAS "counts," more students in many schools just don't show up for testing. In response, state officials and MCAS supporters insist students are responsible for their own failing. If you don't receive a diploma, you have only your attendance record to blame, they warn. These pronouncements seem logical enough. Just as I could expect nothing but a mouthful of cavities after years of avoiding the dentist, students who miss weeks of school can hardly expect to excel academically. But shame is unlikely to pull truant students back into school. Blame doesn't help us understand why truancy is so high in urban districts. Neither provide clues as to how to address the problem.

Applicants must therefore develop a three-year strategy to prevent delinquency based on a thorough analysis of local risk factors and a plan to reduce or eliminate those factors.

About APRI Contact APRI Employment In Re... Volume II, Number 6, 1999 Spotlight on Truancy Prevention and Prosecution Truancy or chronic unexcused absenteeism from school is a growing problem in urban, suburban and rural jurisdictions. Schools around the country are now even noting serious truancy problems in elementary school children. The problem of truancy transcends the confines of the school walls and has widespread consequences throughout the community at large. National and regional studies have shown the direct link between truancy and juvenile daytime crime rates, juvenile delinquency, drug abuse and, of course, failure in school. Over one-half of the prison population never finished high school and only one-half of high school dropouts are employed full-time. Prosecutors around the country are combating the problem of truancy by partnering with local school districts to get children back in school. Why? Because when children are in school, they are building skills that will make them successful adults and they are less likely to be engaging in physically harmful or criminal activities. According to Gary Walker, Prosecuting Attorney, Marquette, Michigan, truancy is the single greatest predictor of juvenile delinquency and is the one common factor that runs through the background of all juveniles in court. When prosecutors are involved in truancy programs, they help prevent juvenile delinquency before criminal laws are violated. Truancy programs vary in resources and duration, but they follow a basic formula:

74. Forms Of Dropout Prevention truancy prevention programs have been established throughout the country, most designed to increase students desire to return to school. http://www.ncrel.org/policy/pubs/html/second/forms.htm

Understanding and Addressing the Issue of the High School Dropout Age Forms of Dropout Prevention Truancy as an Indicator Engaging Schools School Change Alternative Schooling ... Parents' Role in Preventing Dropouts Studies have identified many of the key reasons students drop out of school and what can be done to prevent them from doing so. Decreasing the dropout rate requires the active participation of schools, districts, local communities, parents, and state government working in conjunction with one another. Research has also indicated that to decrease the dropout rate, active partnership between the business, economic, and social sectors of the community is necessary to bring about change (Woods, 1995). A research study conducted by Jacqueline Ancess and Suzanna Wichterle at Columbia University found five key elements that are fundamental in reducing the number of students who drop out of school: Small school size, which supports more positive teacher-student relationships. Small class size, enabling teachers to provide a challenging curriculum for all students. Intellectual habits of mind that mark the school as an intellectual community.
