This program is designed to provide prevention and intervention support for students in danger of being cited for truancy. The program consists of three components:

1. The 3. 5 hour classroom educational portion of the program is designed so that both teens and their parents or legal guardian must participate.
2. Four free sessions of follow up counseling are offered to the student upon completion of the educational class.
3. An optional in depth assessment may be conducted in order to understand all issues related to an individual student's truancy struggles.

Cost: $50.00
