PASS, Inc., in partnership with the Autauga Cou nty School System, is monitoring all truancy cases for the public school system. This service provi des assistance, counseling, and support for families dealing with children who have excessive unexcused absences. The truancy program serves the family and student by assessing the problem, providing counseling if necessary, and ensuring that the truant student will be back in school. It is the parent's responsibility for student attendance and behavior. According to Act 93-672 as adopted by the Alabama Legislature: Parents/guardians or persons in charge of children are required to ensure that their children enroll and attend school and conduct themselves properly in accordance with written policy on school behavior adopted by the local board of education. The failure of a parent/guardian and persons in charge of children to exercise this responsibility is a crime. If convicted said persons shall be fined not more than $100 and may also be sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than 90 days.

SPEECHES
Prepared Remarks for Secretary Paige at the National Truancy Prevention Conference
FOR RELEASE:
December 7, 2004 Speaker sometimes deviates from text. Thank you, Debbie Price for that introduction. And I want to thank your team at our Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools for doing such a great job on so many fronts: school safety, anti-drug programs, crisis planning and more. You know what it means to build strong alliances to get things done. With the passage of time comes a degree of wisdom and clarity. And one of the things you can see more clearly at my age is the value of education at an early age.

Manual to Combat Truancy

in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Justice
The Problem of Truancy in America's Communities
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 tr ouble and need our help if they are to keep moving forward in life. Research data tells us that students who become truant and eventually drop out of school put themselves at a long term disadvantage in becoming productive citizens. High school dropouts, for example, are two and a half times more likely to be on welfare than high school graduates. In 1995, high school dropouts were almost twice as likely to be unemployed as high school graduates. In addition, high school dropouts who are employed earn much lower salaries. Students who become truant and eventually drop out of high school too often set themselves up for a life of struggle. Truancy is a gateway to crime. High rates of truancy are linked to high daytime burglary rates and high vandalism. According to the Los Angeles County Office of Education, truancy is the most powerful predictor of juvenile delinquent behavior.

Middlesex Truancy Prevention Program Expands
Christine Shaw and Jacqueline Kral, Middlesex Partnerships for Youth, Inc. Truancy has been labeled one of the top ten problems in the United States school systems and in a recent survey of Middlesex schools, it ranked fourth behind depression and suicide, substance use/abuse, and anger management/violence as one of the top issues confronting school-based professionals. The consequences of failing to attend school are well-documented. Truancy has been identified as a predictor of delinquency and drug use, and is associated with lowered academic achievement, self-esteem, and even employment potential. In addition, a landmark study in the 1970's found that patterns of poor attendance in early grades led to an increased likelihood for dropping out of school in later years. This connection between poor attendance in earlier grades and later negative consequences in school has been found in later studies as well. For example, in a 1988 study, researchers found that "excessive absences and tardies [was] the third most common reason given for failure in grades 9-12." Recognizing the negative social impact of truancy, the Middlesex Truancy Prevention Program, a partnership between Project Alliance, Middlesex Partnerships for Youth, Inc. and the Middlesex District Attorney's Office, has, since 1998, approached truancy prevention as a community-wide concern requiring input from all those involved with youth and families.

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.

New Approaches to Truancy Prevention in Urban Schools. ERIC Digest. This ERIC Digest is by Charles Walls.
From the ERIC Digest:
In New York City alone, it has been estimated that 150,000 of 1 million public school students are absent on a typical schoolday (Garry, 1996). Although the exact number is unknown, many of these absences are the result of truancy. No universal definition for truancy exists, but it is generally defined as a locally-determined number of absences from school without a legitimate excuse. Truancy is generally considered a major risk factor for dropping out of school and for delinquent behavior, including substance abuse, gang involvement, and criminal activity; these often lead to more serious problems in adult life. This digest will explore truancy in the urban context, examine the different types and reasons for truancy, and provide an overview of the new ways in which researchers and intervention programs have been addressing this problem.

INTRODUCTION
Not all indicators of truancy point to students' personal or family problems. In fact, students and school staff often disagree on the reasons for truancy. In one survey, students cited boredom, loss of interest in school, irrelevant courses, suspensions, and bad relationships with teachers as major factors leading to the decision to skip school. In contrast, school staff believed truancy to be related to students' problems with their families and peers (ERIC Clearinghouse on Educational Management and Office of Educational Research and Improvement, 1999). An additional consideration is that the trip to and from school takes some students through sections of their neighborhoods where they may feel intimidated. In one study on factors contributing to school truancy, 80 percent of youth surveyed said they feared the trip to and from school, reporting that they were forced to cross the "turf" of hostile gangs and that they often skipped school rather than risk violence (University of Colorado at Boulder, 2000).
