Guiding Our Children Toward Success TEA s Office of school guidance and Counseling oversees Texas school absences, truancy, misbehavior, schoolavoidance and dropout prevention; http://www.window.state.tx.us/specialrpt/counselor/intro.htm
Extractions: Guiding Our Children Toward Success Introduction Public school counselors provide a broad range of guidance services to support student achievement. These skilled professionals are key staff members on every Texas campus. Recent tragic events in our nation's history, such as multiple school shootings, have underscored the critical role that counselors play in the mental health and academic achievement of Texas students. Texas State Comptroller Carole Keeton Rylander's Texas School Performance Review (TSPR) reviews a variety of school district programs, including guidance and counseling services. Counselors in districts reviewed by TSPR, such as the Dallas Independent School District, have consistently raised concerns about the excessive amount of their time that must be devoted to non-counseling duties. This concern also has been relayed to the Texas Legislature by counselor associations and other counseling professionals. In response to these concerns, the 2001 Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 538, which required the State Comptroller's office to determine student-counselor ratios on Texas elementary, middle and high school campuses; conduct a statewide survey of how school counselors spend their time; and develop recommendations for future improvements. A copy of this legislation appears as Appendix A of this report. The Comptroller's office conducted the statewide survey of school counselors in January and February 2002. While developing the survey, Comptroller staff met with the Texas Counseling Association, the Texas Education Agency's (TEA) Guidance and Counseling staff and school district counselors to develop data collection strategies. More than 4,000 grade K-12 counselors from across the state responded to the Comptroller's survey.

In addition to the Maryland Compulsory School Attendance Law, the city has a daytime curfew law in City Ordinance 34-4. It mandates that minors between the ages of six and 16 who do not have a lawful reason to be away from school are not allowed in public places between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The CFCC, leveraging a grant from the Charles Crane Family Foundation, approached the BCPSS with a proposal to create a truancy court program that would provide students and their families with the support and services that would help to keep them in school and to make parents and guardians responsible for those who do not attend school. Last year, Highlandtown Middle School reported a 58 percent truancy rate. Southeast and Canton middle schools were at 29.3 and 41.2 percent, respectively, while Elmer Henderson Elementary reported 11.1 percent and Holabird Elementary a 26.6 percent truancy rate.
Truancy Sweeps And Home Educators It seems that not all police officers are aware that the guidance makes reference truancy cards for unaccompanied children out and about during school http://www.arch-ed.org/truancy/truancy2.htm
Extractions: One or two police areas have given us some cause for concern. Thames Valley Police say: "Clearly the only way a police officer can establish whether a child is either a truant, authorised to be out of school or receiving home education, is to question them." Their letter goes on to state that: "Where a child indicates that he/she is home educated, no further action should be taken unless the police officer has reason to believe that this is not the case." In some cases, this seems to have been translated as: "no further action should be taken if a child can prove s/he is home educated." Quite a difference, really!

There are many reasons why young people play truant. Sometimes they are having difficulties with their school work and are feeling discouraged. In some cases a young person may have a learning difficulty (eg dyslexia) that has not been recognised. They may be treated unsympathetically. In many cases, young people avoid school because they are being bullied, harassed or verbally abused (this can include sexual harassment or racial abuse). There is also a condition known as 'school phobia', which is a genuine fear of school. Who to contact if your child is playing truant

Members of the Education Welfare Service work closely with schools, parents/carers and children to promote regular attendance. However it is possible for your parents to make alternative arrangements so long as they provide you with a satisfactory education. To do this, they have to show the local education authority that what you study meets certain standards. Find out more about education other than at school. For some students, it is not possible to attend a school regularly. Young people with serious illness or young women who are pregnant may need alternative arrangements. By law, the local education authority has to provide 'suitable' education for young people under 16 who are unable to attend regular school. This applies even if you have been permanently excluded. Salford's Education Inclusion Service helps to ensure that such young people are supported. If you are of compulsory school age and registered at school, you are required by law to attend regularly so that you can keep up with your studies.

Extractions: and Natural Resources Scientists to study Connecticut River contaminants Scientists in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources are working with colleagues from three other New England universities in the Connecticut River Airshed-Watershed Consortium to study how pollutants get into the environment. The studies will provide new insight into the movement and contaminatio n caused by pollutants such as mercury, nitrogen, and methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE). Research has shown that many substances, including nitrogen and mercury, regularly move between the air, water, soil and vegetation. But the processes of how they move have yet to be defined and quantified, making control and cleanup of chemical spills or runoff difficult from engineering and legal perspectives. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of where contaminants in the Connecticut River Basin come from, UConn researchers participating in the consortium aim to define and model the entire pollution cycling process with a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection. "If you look at only one [environmental] system you can't really solve the problem," says David Miller, professor in the department of natural resources management and engineering. Miller will serve as principal investigator at UConn and will spearhead research into the cycling of pollutants between the atmosphere and Earth's surface.

Extractions: Lieutenant Gavin serves with the St. Petersburg, Florida, Police Department. Law enforcement agencies can work with schools and parents to keep students from skipping school. To many, the word truancy conjures memories of stern-faced truant officers stalking hapless youngsters who skipped school to go fishing or to sneak into a neighborhood movie theater. Even today, many law enforcement administrators consider young people's skipping school such a low priority that they rarely give it a second thought. If asked about the problem, patrol officers often respond by saying they are too busy rushing to burglary and robbery calls to worry about kids skipping school. Therein lies the problem. In many cases, the truants are the burglars and the robbers. When St. Petersburg, Florida, experienced a dramatic increase in residential burglaries, crime analysis revealed that, as in other communities, juveniles constituted a significant number of the burglary arrests. In response, the St. Petersburg Police Department began to explore the relationship between truancy and delinquency. This article summarizes that research and the strategies that St. Petersburg and other communities have developed to reduce the opportunities for juveniles to commit crime. THE LINK BETWEEN TRUANCY AND DELINQUENCY As early as the 1800s, social reformers recognized the link between truancy and delinquency. In discussing the rise in urban crime that accompanied the Industrial Revolution, a judge of the day cited the relationship:

Extractions: Students are expected to be in school, in class, and ready for instruction. Daily and punctual school attendance is essential to each student's academic development. Absence from school is detrimental to student achievement. A student is counted present for state reporting purposes if present for any portion of the day. As required under the provisions of law, each parent/guardian is responsible for regular and punctual attendance of any child in his or her charge within the compulsory age for school attendance. Emancipated students are responsible for their own regular and punctual attendance. Parents and emancipated students are expected to work cooperatively with school personnel to correct attendance problems, including meetings with teachers, counselors, or administrators. Each member of a school's faculty is expected to avoid causing a student to be tardy or absent from a colleague's class. If a student is tardy or absent because of being detained by a faculty member, he/she will be considered excused and the absence will not be included in the count for excessive absences. Students shall not be in an unauthorized area of the school without prior permission, and shall not leave a classroom, building, or assigned area without proper permission. Students who do not comply with this section will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct and Discipline Guidelines.
