Today the JSGC podcast team interviews Glenn Pasewicz, Susan Elder, and Allison Kobzowicz to discuss truancy in Pennsylvania schools. Among the topics discussed include important definitions, the penalties truant students face, and the changes brought by the Covid-19 pandemic.  Recommendations for reducing truancy in schools are also discussed. The content of this episode is based on the report "The Truancy Process: The Challenge of Improving Attendance in Pennsylvania Schools,"  released in April of 2024.  This report was created due to a requirement in Act 138 of 2016.  More information, including a previous 2015 report on truancy, can be found on our website.Music by Joseph McDade.
