Of related interest are the results released by the American Medical Association (AMA) that reveals how underage youth obtain alcohol, as well as how easily and often. The poll of teens, aged 13-18, found that nearly half reported having obtained alcohol at some point. In all age groups, girls nearly always ranked higher than boys in obtaining alcohol . The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also found that alcohol is linked to two-thirds of all sexual assaults and date rapes of teens and increases the likelihood of contracting HIV or sexually transmitted diseases.

Home Office Brochure About Us CLE ... Investigations Truancy Prevention Not only does truancy significantly dim a child's educational and employment prospects, truancy is a reliable predictor of future delinquency and criminality. As such, the District Attorney is committed to breaking this cycle of failure by getting children to GO to school, every day. Project "GO" is the District Attorney's truancy prevention and intervention program. We address the parents of elementary and middle school children who are excessively absent. Our primary goal is to help provide whatever assistance the parent may need—medical, social, academic or other—to get the child to school every day. Parents who do not cooperate are subject to criminal prosecution for educational neglect, just as they would be if they did not feed or clothe their children. Partnering with the School District, Department of Human Services and others, "GO" emphasizes that regular school attendance is the first necessary step each child must take toward a successful, productive, law-abiding life.

Two questions on the survey dealt with the issue of truancy. One question asked specifically about truancy in the last 30 days. 31% of students with special health needs had skipped. They were more than twice as likely to be chronically truant (skipping school more than 10 times in a month) than their healthy peers.

This was more than twice the percentage compared with their healthy peers.

The program is described as "by far the most successful system implemented" in the wake of Truancy Bills passed during the last legislative session. The article, by University of Texas law student Robert Greenlaw, notes that the multi-faceted program, the first in Texas, represents a dynamic collaboration among the FWISD, the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County and social services (Lena Pope Home) and has become a model for others seeking to deter truancy. The effectiveness of FWISD's truancy program begins with support services for students and parents through a Comprehensive Truancy Intervention Program (CTIP); it concludes with legal consequences requiring a student and parent to appear before a municipal court (Student Attendance Court) funded by the school district and dedicated solely to truancy cases.

Our appreciation and thanks goes to those three for sharing valuable information and their time with us. One school attendance successful program we found was Emerson Elementary School. Their attendance was close to 92%. They have an attendance card shown here front and back along with an attendance monitor who telephones daily the homes of children who did not make it to school that day. They take attendance very seriously at Emerson. They also have an Attendance Day Reward Party as shown in the pictures below. If you have any questions on how they keep up the great record please contact Norma Vasquez of the Public Education Department.

"Sponsored by the Public Education Department, Governor's Truancy Prevention Program" Spokes person: "HURRIKANE 9" New Mexico's Laws on Truancy Truant, means a student who has accumulated five unexcused absences within any 20 day period. Habitual truant means a student who has accumulated the equivalent of 10 or more unexcused absences within a school year. Lifelong Consequences of Truancy When a child is in school you know they are safe and that they are working towards expanding their minds and securing their future. If the child doesn't attend everyday they will quickly fall behind the class because they miss schoolwork. They may become embarrassed, frustrated and even angry. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 80% of those in prison ditched school and the percent of juvenile offenders who started as truants is even higher, approaching 95%. In many large metropolitan areas kids who ditch school are responsible for an estimated 80% of daytime burglaries. Documentary Airing on KNME-TV Sunday, February 27th 8:30 AM

Truancy Prevention Program In order to reap the benefits of school, students need to be there. Truancy prevention specialists meet with designated staff in each school for referrals of students with more than five missed school days. Counseling on an outreach basis is then initiated with the student and family. Also available to students who have passing grades but have not met attendance requirements to receive course credit and/or promotion is a one-time attendance intervention class. The class consists of three sessions, each two hours in length for student and parents to address such issues as personal responsibility, parenting skills, behavior change, and self-discipline. Completion of the class results in restoration of credit or earned promotion. Home
