San Francisco campaign targets student truancy
A 40-year-old ex-teacher, Chris Lazzaro, works to curb absenteeism in San Francisco by tracking truants at a middle school and another school with high truancy. He visits homes, warns guardians of state attendance laws, and helps absent students rejoin classes. Truancy is linked to academic setbacks and potential loss of aid, with varied district efforts including ID tracking, re-entry programs, courts, and rewards. Community cooperation is viewed as essential to long-term success.
