MISSION
The mission of the York County Truancy Prevention Initiative is to reduce
the truant population in York County by establishing a protocol for
improved communication, instituting a consistent response to
this issue, and initiating interventions.
On average, 82% of York County students in Check & Connect have reduced their unexcused absences.
In the past five years, York County’s statewide truancy ranking has improved from 9th highest to 17th highest
The York County Truancy Task Force has a membership of over 50 people that meet every other month to network and collaborate, making the York County Truancy Prevention Initiative a leader throughout the state on tackling truancy
The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency is funding a pilot Youth Court Alliance, taking place at William Penn Senior High School because they see potential in replicating this program across York County and across the state.
