Case: consistent checkouts
A child constantly checks out prior to class on quiz and test days. He often misses many other days. The attendance clerk enters the following excuses on a regular basis: illness, dentist, early dismissal, etc. Parents have been contacted consistently to no avail. Dad works out of town all week, mom works for DFACS, and grandma is the one giving permission for the child to check out of school. Mom has come to parent conference - only because dad made her, but nothing has changed. He is extremely smart but applies himself very, very little. Despite many one-on-one conversations about his potential, he is failing 6 out of 7 classes. What do we do as educators when our children are failing because we have so little parent support?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If you have spoken with the students, parents, counselor, and administrator, you may have to ask the counselor about doing a social worker referral. My team and I encountered this last year with a student. After making every attempt to curb the consistent (almost daily) checkouts, unfortunately, we had to do a social worker referral. Although we did not want to go to that extreme, it did decrease the checkouts and the students grade began to increase, as the student and parents were being monitored. |

| Comments: I think this is a good idea, if the student's absences are effecting his work tat badly then I think it is time to use outside resources. I would try this solution. |

| Comments: I think this is the best solution because it offers the advise of what the next step should be aside from parental involvement since they seem to be no help. |
