21. Final Evaluation Report Of The Truancy Prevention Through Mediation Program Constructive, nonviolent forums, processes, and techniques for resolving disputes. http://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.

var TlxPgNm='index'; Truancy A Serious Problem for Students, Schools, and Society Home Getting Started Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 ... Discussion Area Did you know that . . . Approximately 3,500 students in Pittsburgh, Pa., are absent each day, and about 70 percent of these absences are unexcused? There are approximately 4,000 unexcused absences every day in Milwaukee, Wi.? An average of 62,000 students are absent each day across the Los Angeles Unified School District, and only half return to school with written excuses? Truancy, or unexcused absence from school, has become a major problem in communities across the nation. While creating an obvious threat to students' academic progress, truant behavior also serves as a strong indicator of dysfunction in many other domains of a young person's life (e.g., peers, family, community). Left unaddressed, truancy can contribute to myriad problems during the school years and into adulthood. According to the Manual to Combat Truancy , prepared by the U.S. Department of Education in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice, "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 trouble and need our help if they are to keep moving forward in life." This event is designed to enhance your understanding of truancy and provide you with the information you need to promote school attendance among students in your communities. It will run for two weeks, from Monday, May 3 through Friday, May 14. During the first week, National Center staff will facilitate the on-line discussion among event participants on a regular basis. This means that staff will monitor and contribute to the discussion several times each day and provide daily summaries of participants' questions and comments. The second week is primarily intended for participants to continue their exploration of event resources as well as any discussions with fellow coordinators that began the week before; Center staff will provide periodic facilitation during the second week of this event.

Spotlights on Success Pittsburgh’s SS/HS Initiative Uses Social Marketing To Stem Truancy For grantees considering using social marketing as a way to support their Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) initiatives, Pittsburgh’s anti-truancy campaign offers lessons on the importance of planning, patience, and flexibility. A 1999 SS/HS grantee, the school district of Pittsburgh learned that success is possible—even for SS/HS grantees just learning the ropes in communications and social marketing. How to use the Pittsburgh initiative’s communications resources was an open question when Cheryl Pinto, the SS/HS project assistant, and Erica Jones, a Steering Committee member, attended a Communications Institute held by the SS/HS Communications Team in Reno, NV, in 2001. Asked to detail a communications plan for their SS/HS initiative, the duo reasoned that truancy was a natural focus. According to Ms. Jones, “It was something we could enhance.”
