Community Truancy Boards positively impact students’ lives through a process that supports students and their families. Community Truancy Boards in Spokane have significantly impacted hundreds of vulnerable students who, without this intervention, may have been permanently disengaged from learning and dropped out of school. The Community Truancy Board program is especially attractive for replication because it can be accomplished without additional funding through re-allocation of existing resources.

Any school district wishing to improve its ability to identify barriers to school attendance, problem-solve solutions, connect truant youth and their families with community-based services, and strengthen collaboration between schools, community members, and juvenile courts should request and use the Community Truancy Board Toolkit.
