HomeMy WebLinkAboutChildren's Trust - Truancy Reduction PrgmSummary Funder: Children's Trust: City of Miami Service Partnership — Truancy Reduction Program Grant Period: August 01, 2012 — July 31, 2012 Grant Amount: $832,095.00 For the 2012-2013 school year, the City of Miami Service Partnership for Truancy (absenteeism) Reduction will be implemented in 23 schools within the City of Miami, an increase of 10 schools (9,854 students) from the 2011/12 program to 23 schools (14,479 students). The program will be increasing its attention at elementary schools, due to the findings from the Read to Learn Initiative which showed that the most truant grades are kindergarten thru third grade. Students that cannot read at grade level by third grade are more likely to drop out of school. For this reason, our efforts this coming year will be focused on the elementary grades. This in turn, will maximize the return on investment, and curtail the truancy habits at the elementary level before they continue through to the middle school and high school years. The program will be offered in 1 high school and 22 elementary schools. The schools are selected based on percentage of attendance. All the schools in this program have a 96% attendance rate or lower (the ideal average school attendance is 98% or higher or to improve the percentage of attendance from the prior school year). Program Overview As a part of the Education Compact with the City of Miami, the Miami Partnership for the Truancy Reduction Plan / Truancy Court Pilot Program was developed during the 2007-2008 school year. The program is a partnership between the City of Miami, Miami -Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court, Miami Dade Schools Police Department, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, and the Department of Children and Families, and other community agencies. M-DCPS received federal funding from a Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant and the City of Miami receives funding as a service partnership from The Children's Trust. The Miami Partnership for the Truancy Reduction Plan / Truancy Court Pilot Program intervenes with students who accrue even one absence attending any of the participating schools (See Attached Chart). This program is a truancy prevention, truancy intervention, truancy court program with a multidisciplinary comprehensive approach to improving student attendance and academic performance. Students exhibiting a pattern of non -school attendance are provided meaningful and comprehensive services catered to the specific needs of the families through a truancy child study team meeting at the school. The truancy child study team meetings utilize a multi- disciplinary approach. They are escalating in nature, and only when all resources have been exhausted through a series of three (3) Truancy Child Study Team Meetings with a student and his/her family and the,truancy (absenteeism) continues, would a.truancy petition be filed by the superintendent of schools. Florida statute allows the Superintendent of Schools to file a formal court petition once all efforts have been exhausted with a truancy case, and the filing of such a petition allows for a juvenile court judge the authority to preside over the case and to assume jurisdiction. Once a formal truancy petition is filed the student and parent/guardian are summoned to appear in court. The truancy court judge hears the petition, and asks the family if they are willing to participate in a family conferencing session in an y effort to remedy the truant behavior. After participating in the family conferencing session all participants appear in court on the designated date. The attendance action plan and synopsis of the family conferencing session is presented to the judge. The judge then orders the attendance action plan. The student is monitored continuously by school personnel and frequent court reports are held to determine if progress is being made and compliance of the attendance action plan is being complied with. If the student demonstrates success, and the attendance action plan is being implemented the truancy court case is closed. In the event that all resources have been exhausted through the truancy court process and the student continues to miss school, then a Child in Need of Services/Family in Need of Services (CINS/FINS) petition may be filed, or the Superintendent of Schools may seek criminal prosecution of the parent/guardian depending on the lack of compliance issues that arise. Since its inception, only one (1) petition has been filed under this program. 1-Willy Gort 530 NORTH CENTRAL 2012-2013 Participating Schools Miami Jackson SHS 0111 Maya Angelou Elementary 94.42% 1-Willy Gort 545 NORTH CENTRAL Miami Jackson SHS 0881 Comstock Elemetary 95.27% 1-Willy Gort 1-Willy, Gort • 2-Marc Sarnoff 2-Marc Sarnoff 597 1217. 179 408 NORTH CENTRAL South Central ETO North Miami Jackson SHS Miami SHS Booker T.

Source: Miami -Dade County, Florida Community Solutions Action Plan Stusert Atten.ance • During the 2010-11 school year, student attendance at M-DCPS elementary schools averaged 96 percent, but that doesn't tell the whole story. • Some 6,600 elementary school children were chronically absent, missing more than 11 percent of school days (more than 20 days), • 6,500 children at risk of chronic absenteeism (absences of 16 to 20 days annually), together representing more than 11 percent of all elementary school children. • The trend for elementary students who attend school regularly, i.e., who miss no more than 8 percent of school days (15 or fewer) each year has been relatively stable over the past six years, but we aim to improve on this rate by focusing on children in the early grades.
