Restorative School Truancy Intervention Program
Restorative School Truancy Intervention Program
With the assistance of Congressman David Obey, Barron County Restorative Justice Programs, Inc. was given the opportunity to develop and implement a truancy initiative that embraces the philosophy of Restorative Practices. Barron County Restorative Justice Programs, Inc. in partnership with Rice Lake, Cameron, Barron and Cumberland School Districts and the Barron County Department of Health and Human Services have hired and trained two social workers to work in those school districts. Our commitment is to identify and intervene in pre-truancy and truancy issues with students and implement appropriate restorative interventions to resolve the attendance issues and those underlying issues contributing to the attendance problem.
