SOUTH CAROLINA - The close of the 2007-2008 school year has seen a nearly 75 percent decrease in truancy thanks largely to the Juvenile Deferred Prosecution Program (JDPP), the Tenth Circuit Solicitor’s Office announced Monday. Designed as a truancy program to keep kids in school, JDPP works with at-risk families through techniques such as counseling and drug testing. As of the end of this school year, more than 500 families have been served by the program. Before being involved in the program, participants averaged 20 school absences per year. After JDPP participation, students only averaged 4.5 absences per year. Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
