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 to make positive recommendations to combat truancy and tardiness. This very informative summit was presented last spring and is being repeated due to high demand.
