York County Truancy Prevention Initiative

The mission of the York County Truancy Prevention Initiative is to reduce the truant population in York County by establishing a protocol for improved communication, instituting a consistent response to this issue, and initiating interventions. As a program of United Way of York County, the York County Truancy Prevention Initiative ultimately serves all school-aged youth in York County by establishing itself as a clearinghouse for what works to prevent truancy and school dropout, staying current on national education policy research, and finding ways to enhance York County's provision of truancy prevention programs using best practices research.
