Social workers are vital partners in addressing truancy within our schools. They identify and assess the factors contributing to absenteeism, such as family conflicts or mental health issues, and connect students and families to necessary resources, including counseling and support programs. By collaborating with school staff, social workers help create supportive environments that address challenges like bullying and academic struggles. They also engage in outreach to educate families about the importance of regular attendance. As school board members, your support for social work initiatives can significantly improve attendance rates and enhance student well-being, ultimately fostering a more successful and engaged student body.

"A nation that denigrates its foundations contributes to its own collapse." ? The True Corrective aims to build the next generation of citizens who are capable of unifying around our nation’s common set of shared values and principles. They are committed to helping parents provide their children with the education they need and deserve, but are being denied. They believe every child deserves... - an education that cultivates an ability to uncover, discern, and interpret information, so they may be prepared for the increasingly difficult task of determining truth in a world of misleading or oftentimes intentionally deceptive information - an education that gives them the foundations to foster a lifelong discovery of the true, the good, and the beautiful - an education that teaches them how to keep themselves free. The primary purpose of any education system is to instill values and principles in citizens, enabling each generation to preserve and advance these ideals, thereby sustaining and enhancing society. https://lnkd.in/eM_h5hDn #nwef #education #classroom #students #teachers #parents #truecorrective
