Truancy Diversion still on the statewide radar!

I attended a meeting that Scott Boileau of the Alliance for Children had arranged with the WV Education Associaion on Thursday in Charleston. Scott and I made a presentation about the Truancy Diversion program, as it had been in its "hey day" and as it is now, supported by the Wood Co. Board of Education. It is always intriguing to spread the word about this program, that has been shown to be quite effective in dealing with truancy and school attendance issues, and ultimately, impacting of drop out rates. We were well received among this "peer" cohort of folks, who want to improve the lives of students in our state.
