Truancy and tardiness are concerns for many school districts. Attendance issues correlate with lack of school achievement, juvenile delinquency and dropping out of school. This summit will bring together representatives from schools, the law enforcement community, Department for Children and Families and the court system to explore root causes of attendance problems and make positive recommendations to combat truancy and tardiness. The presenters are all practitioners in their perspective fields and will bring practical examples and knowledge to this summit. Best practices in Middlesex County school districts will be featured.
