Truancy Prevention Outreach Program (TPOP) offers an early warning system to identify at-risk students and provide individualized support for such students and families. In conjunction with youth, families, CCSD and community partners, TPOP works to eliminate chronic absenteeism by focusing on underlying youth and family need. TPOP provides intensive in-home, in-school and community-based services that helps to ensure youth and families receive needed supports through a targeted case management approach. TPOP staff develops a coordinated plan of action intended to engage and re-engage youth and families, develop a resource map of existing services, and collaborate with CCSD personnel. Interventions are structured within a case management model, where families, program staff and school personnel can work with students on a range of issues to address the root causes of their absences. Family engagement and community partners are vital in assisting youth to reach their goals.
