Proposed Solutions

• Communities, schools, parents, judicial systems and
  students, must work cooperatively to establish rules and
  enforce consequences quickly and consistently
• Schools must become institutions where students feel
  comfortable and safe. Successful solutions to truancy
  whether on an individual basis, or collectively, will require
  inclusive strategies at various levels that will address both
  components.
• Intervention truancy strategy must consist of the following:
  Communities and schools must communicate truancy rules
  clearly, while monitoring youth consistently and enforcing
  consequences quickly and fairly.

  1. One of the major issues confronting schools today is truancy. Truancy traditionally refers to absences caused by students of their free will. The exact meaning of the term itself is subject to differ from school to school. Beyond the effect missed schooling may have on a student’s academic record, truancy may indicate more deeply embedded problems with the student, education system, or both. A. M. Spencer in his article “School Attendance Patterns, Unmet Educational Needs, and Truancy” stated: “Persistent absenteeism has been acknowledged as a precursor to unfavorable outcomes, including academic disappointments, dropout and juvenile delinquency. My research was comprised of reviewing credible literature on truancy, as well as perusing academic and attendance data obtained from the Arkansas Department of Education. Analyzing such data will aid educators in identifying early indicators that may lead to chronic absenteeism later on in the educational process. My research centered on the West Memphis School District, during the through the 2006 thru the 2009 school years. Data focused on average daily membership, average daily attendance, graduation rate, dropout rate, and attendance rate.
  2. Truancy is a major issue in education. The remedy lies in communities and schools creating effective truancy reduction programs. Schools must work with communities and parents to understand the impact of truancy on education, creating an awareness to parents of certain terminology such as; attendance rate, truancy rate, unexcused and excused absences, at-risk, truancy reduction, adequate yearly progress, retention and graduation rate, will empower parents with the conceptual knowledge to engage in meaningful dialogue with school administrators and teachers, on how they can become involved in their child’s school experiences. Sir Francis Bacon wrote, “Knowledge is Power”. (Dr Zella McDonald, personal communication, December 15, 2011)Truancy data can be used by educators to make informed decisions as it relates to truancy. Attendance monitors on the state and local levels must track attendance and test scores beginning in grade 3 thru grade 12, identifying predictors of early truancy patterns. By identifying troubles early on, and addressing aggressively, school and community leaders can use attendance data to make states look at expanding state attendance reporting and enforcement laws, mandating schools and districts to make attendance reporting a priority. This can be accomplished by administering parent, teacher and student surveys in order to obtain various perspectives on the causes and possible solutions to chronic absenteeism and truancy.
  3. In conclusion, students who are absent frequently from school can have a negative impact on both the school and the truant student, as well. Local communities will experience both long and short term consequences, which can eventually produce concerns in regards to public safety. Communities must work to identify solutions to address and correct this issue (National Center for, 2006). Recent studies identified two essential components that must be addressed: Communities, schools, parents, judicial systems and students, must work cooperatively to establish rules and enforce consequences quickly and consistently. Schools must become institutions where students feel comfortable and safe. Successful solutions to truancy whether on an individual basis, or collectively, will require inclusive strategies at various levels that will address both components (National Center for, 2006). The proposed truancy intervention strategy consist of the following: Communities and schools must communicate truancy rules clearly, while monitoring youth consistently and enforcing consequences quickly and fairly. School interventions with students who are regularly truant must focus on helping the youth become reengaged through the conditions of educational experiences that the youth feel is safe, caring, academically accommodating, interesting and pertinent (Reimer, 2005). Ongoing monitoring and communication both academically and socially must be implemented on both state and local levels. Technologies now allow schools to communicate with parents through email and text messages. The long used method of notes and letters has become obsolete, and other forms of communication that parents and students use daily should be implemented. It is essential for schools to create and administer climate surveys that address truancy and absenteeism. Educators must also implement programs that track students that have early environmental and social indicators of absenteeism and truancy, in order to provide early intervention. In communities with high rates of truancy, creating all-inclusive solutions that address the fundamental components of truancy (environmental, academic, and social), and the implementation of the possible intervention strategy I have identified, will be necessary to have a successful long-term impact on the truancy issue.
