@fart.therapy: 📢 AASD says they “support” students with this elaborate flowchart, but 76% of schools don’t even have access to PATH, their main mental health program. So what do they do instead? Criminalize kids with truancy tickets. Let’s stop pretending this is about care. If we want better attendance, we need to meet students’ needs—not push them into court. If you can, please show up at the August 4th community public hearing and make your voice heard! Venue: Appleton public library 5:30-7pm. Also, contact an alderperson and let tell them to vote NO on enforcing tickets for truancy. #appleton #school #wisconsin #appletonwisconsin #fypage #fyp #aasd

Oshkosh is the same. We pulled out during kinder, started homeschooling, and are THRIVING. Both of my kids were able to basically skip a grade.

Not to mention mental health care in the valley is a nightmare. You almost have to drive to Milwaukee or Madison to find a mental health doctor.

I had a PE teacher in my SPED class for 90% of the year. He kept saying “I’m just temporary” I wrote about this in my book explaining my experience as a student with special needs. “Silenced Plea- the child who learned differently” www.neuronavigation.org

i went to truancy court when i was 11 years old and had judge mcginnis make me cry. i felt targeted for being poor, and i didnt understand how it was my responsibility at that age to get myself to school. they gave me fines and community service for it too. he literally yelled in my face and a whole room of adults was okay with it. im 23 now and ill never forget it

I’m a school nurse in WI. Have you checked out Attendance Works? West Allis followed their model and had good success.

Went to Green Bay school district, struggled HORRIBLY with my mental health, was told by admin that only people with “real struggles” can do alternate classes 🙃 I’m in my 30s now and my daughter is in kaukauna schools and we’re doing MUCH better

“Rapport and supportive relationships” means “no discipline or accountability” to admin and SIs

Do you know how many citations were issued for truancy last year? Seems appropriate (if funded properly) but most districts are severely underfunded

School systems are the most clueless when it comes to reality of families. If a procedure is evidence based, then the board all drinks the kool-aide in unison. School systems turn my democratic heart in a republican real fast. Zero common sense when it comes to policy.

I didn't even know they did tickets anymore. I went to AEHS and had a lot of trouble with absences but i also was on an IEP so that may have stopped me from getting them.

Would love to see better help for kids that need it. Wish it improved. Thanks for the post and shining light on this. I experienced truancy and left aasd to complete education at the technical college. Kids deserve better

Mental health is only available through the school district? Maybe parents should be held more accountable to give their kids ge support they need?
