We need social workers, school psychologists, better family housing & social supports...not cops. Not SROs. Not truancy officers.

In a school that targets vulnerable Ss, once again - poor parenting is not the cause of chronic absenteeism. Need housing Need MH support Need childcare Need family support/social support #ittakesavilllage #attendancemattersRI

There is a world class athlete who travels, a student or two who truly learned they can be absent & pass/do fine, Ss who just don’t feel a future for them, need for MH support…also discussed role of the sch guidance counselor #attendancemattersri
