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
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 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.

• Early elementary years are a time when it is most critical
for children to be in school so they may build
foundation for academic and social skills required for
future success.
We also know low attendance rates in elementary
schools often are overlooked, but that is not the case
here. Miami -Dade County alreadyis focusing on this
issue and efforts will be fortified through the R6ad to
Learn. initiative.

Stuent Attenian
• 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),
s
• 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.
