  Case: Attendance issues
Ms. Smith has a student that only attends school on an average once or twice a week. The attendance has been turned in to the truancy officer and meetings have been called with parents. The lack of attendance is causing a drop in grades. The intervention teacher cannot collect enough data to move the student up or down a tier. What should Ms. Smith do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is an unfortunate situation but I think this is something that the teacher should ask for help on with other people within the school, such as the guidance counselor, social worker, etc. I also think the teacher should collect data in term of recording when the student is present at school and when the student isn't.
