York Tech Hosts Truancy Taskforce

Save the date for this important event! Did you know that 4 students drop out of school every school day? That's a staggering amount of students that are not getting the education they need to be successful adults.

On September 21, the York County Truancy Prevention Intiative will hold this free summit at York County School of Technology from 4 - 7:00 P.M. This event is open to the public and will address varied topics in its breakout sessions: Talking with dropouts, Attendance policies for kindergarten and first graders, current laws, alternatives to fines, and more.

Is this event for me? Yes! Whether you are a teacher, student, parent, school resource officer, administrator, or judge, there will be a topic that will interest you.
