Striving to decrease truancy problems in other locales, KIND helps to implement Truancy Projects by offering training and resource manuals, on-site start up assistance and ongoing planning and implementation support. KIND was recently awarded a grant from the Georgia Bar Foundation to assist in these efforts, including financial support to provide counties within Georgia small "seed grants" to assist in implementation of the model. To date, KIND has exported its services to Hall, Gwinnett, Dougherty, Newton, Chatham, Muscogee, Douglas, Rockdale and Bibb counties, where Truancy Intervention Projects have been successfully developed, and is currently in the preliminary stages with Henry, Upson, DeKalb, Troup and Walker counties. In addition to providing services to counties within Georgia, we offer materials and "tele-assistance" to places outside of Georgia, which have an interest in truancy intervention.

TRUANCY AND DROPOUT PREVENTION OVERVIEW In 2001, the Vermont Department of Education identified the need to build capacity in truancy and dropout prevention. The dropout data released in fall 2001 showed that one out of five students who enter the 9th grade do not graduate four years later, highlighting unequivocally the scope of the problem for educators and community members. The Vermont Consortium for Successful High School Completion was created to respond to the increasing concern about dropouts in Vermont. Vermont Consortium for Successful High School Completion The consortium works to identify the nature of the dropout problem and the conditions that contribute to it. Since January 2002, the consortium has been working with five communities and their schools using a community development approach to truancy and dropout prevention. Mount Anthony Union High School in Bennington, Brattleboro Union High School, Enosburg Falls Middle High School, Lamoille Union High School in Hyde Park, and Whitingham School in Jacksonville have each worked with an outside consultant to form community-school collaboratives with diverse partners, including youth. Each collaborative has been charged with: 1) identifying the conditions underlying local truancy and dropout problems; 2) developing a strategic plan to address those conditions; and 3) guiding the implementation of the plan.

Truancy and Dropout Prevention Program Introduction The Truancy and dropout Prevention Program describes a one-year pilot program conducted at Sabal Palm elementary School in Tallahassee, Florida. The program was designed to take a problem solving approach to meet the unique needs of that particular school in solving the problems of poor achievement, low parental involvement, student disengagement, and high absenteeism, leading to eventual dropping out of school. After an in depth needs assessment, it was determined that we could best impact truancy by addressing four primary areas: School Discipline Routines and Procedures Community Volunteerism Parental Involvement The following describes our program at Sabal Palm elementary school, with an emphasis on providing information in a way that it can be generalized to other schools. We have also attempted to provide a significant amount of information regarding general research in the area of truancy, other programs that we have reviewed, and links to additional resources for both teachers and parents. Funding This project is funded by a grant from the Student Support Services Project: A collaborative project of the Florida Department of Education and the University of South Florida.

90. Truancy Program Targets Problems Before They Start to prevent the removal of children from their homes, and to increase the attendance of children at school. Because schools are the first point of truancy http://www.kci.org/chanute.htm

Truancy Program Targets Problems Before They Start Chanute Wins 1995 Bill Koch Community Safety Award by Steven J. Davies, Ph.D. Truancy is often called "a gateway crime." Consistent truancy is strongly linked to the likelihood that a child will commit crime in the future. When children do not get the education they need, families and communities suffer because chronic truancy predicts that a juvenile is headed for other kinds of anti-social and destructive behavior. In 1993, Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) officers in Chanute noticed a pattern between truancy and crime: truant children were also showing up in court or in state custody. In addition, local school officials expressed frustration because they felt nothing was being done about the children they reported as truant. Meetings between the County Attorney, Chanute SRS staff, and the local middle school educators resulted in At School, On Time, Ready To Work , a collaborative truancy program involving both parents and students. The underlying premise of the project is that truancy is not only a problem for an individual child, but a problem for the child's family, school, and ultimately the whole community.
