The GOAL FOR YOU IS 182 was developed by the Lynchburg City Schools Truancy Prevention Team. There are a total of 182 teaching days during the school calendar year and students are expected to be present each day. Regular attendance in school supports successful academic performance, fosters accountability, and enhances student commitment toward education goals. The division anticipated that the message to stay in school has more meaning to students, parents, and community members if it originates from our own students. Therefore, the winning artwork and themes being used in the division-wide truancy campaign were developed by two Lynchburg City Schools students during a 1999-2000 truancy campaign poster contest:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2004 www.ojp.usdoj.gov Joan LaRocca, 202-307-0703 Office of Justice Programs David Thomas, 202-401-1576 U.S. Department of Education DEPARTMENTS OF JUSTICE AND EDUCATION HOST NATIONAL TRUANCY PREVENTION CONFERENCE WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Education are co-sponsoring a first-ever national conference showcasing effective and promising approaches on truancy prevention. The conference, "Partnering to Prevent Truancy: A National Priority" will bring together over 600 educators, teachers, researchers, law enforcement and criminal justice practitioners from across the nation to share strategies and successes. The conference will consist of workshops, roundtable discussions, exhibits, and plenary sessions presenting practical strategies for achieving successful outcomes to the truancy problem in schools and communities. Among the topics to be addressed are family involvement, motivating at-risk youth, collaboration building, and program evaluation. Particular emphasis will be placed on programs that target underserved populations, such as youth with disabilities, tribal youth, children in foster care, immigrant youth, and youth reentering the community from the juvenile justice system. "Truancy costs students an education and a future," said Deborah J. Daniels, Assistant Attorney General for DOJ's Office of Justice Programs (OJP). "The education system can't do it alone; our collective challenge must be to address truancy prevention in an aggressive manner. We must invest in strategies that enlist schools, families and community leaders and empower them to take charge."

Newsletters O utreach "Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is a great equalizer of the conditions of men - the balance wheel of the social machinery It does better than to disarm the poor of their hostility toward the rich; it prevents being poor." - Horace Mann, 1848 Since school failure plagues all communities, KIND Inc. has begun to export the TIP model to other jurisdictions across the state and throughout the country. 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.
