  1. HOW CAN WE IMPROVESCHOOL ATTENDANCE ? Mr. Minier soilominier@yahoo.com Saint Spyridon 2013

  2. Steps of the Public Policy Analysis (PPA) • Define the Problem • Gather the Evidence • Identify the Causes • Examine an Existing Policy • Develop Solutions • Select the Best Solution

  3. Responsibility for attendance rests almost entirely with the leadership of each school.

  4. Collective Evidence • One of the most important things your child can do to achieve academic success is also one of the most basic: going to school every day. In fact, research has shown that your child's attendance record may be the biggest factor influencing his/her academic success.

  5. Collective Evidence • Attendance is required for public school students. Minor ages 6-17 in New York City are required to attend school on a full time basis. 90% attendance is one of the requirements for promotion to the next grade.

  6. Collective Evidence • Attendance patterns are formed early in life. Children who develop good attendance habits in the early grades will be more likely to continue them throughout their school career.

  7. NOW!I would like for you internet loving students, to find your own evidence of this problem.

  8. Causes for poor Attendance • lack of school discipline • parents working and not being involved • peer group pressure • Bullying • Upbringing • poor relationships between teachers and students.

  11. Solutions • Have a presentation at the beginning of the school year for kids as well as for the parents informing them about the policies and laws on student attendance, bullying/peer pressure, and parent involvement in school career of their child. • Have parents sign a contract that will go in the students record for more accountability. • Have more Truant Officers. • Incentives. • http://www.attendanceworks.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/AW-Incentives-two-pager-1-4-11.pdf

  13. Now I would like for you to come up with your own solutions. We will go over all of them and pick the most reasonable and effective ones and present them to the principal. If the principal picks any and applies it to the schools policy I will take you for lunch to “BBQs”.
