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!) Social workers need to be notified so they can do a home visit and evaluate the situation, I have the same situation and turned out the student was homeless and had to take a bus 40 minutes to school and missed it due to circumstances. They have allowed the missed days and help the student when they come.
