Publication Announcement


Supporting Tribal Youth Attendance Achievement

TLPI's Tribal Youth Resource Center is proud to announce the release of a new publication- Supporting Tribal Youth Attendance Achievement. The publication serves as a primer to assist with understanding issues of chronic absenteeism, truancy, prevention, and intervention processes. It addresses historic education policy and contemporary approaches utilized by Tribal communities to prevent and address truancy among Tribal youth and highlights helpful community-based approaches to support delinquency prevention program development. This publication will direct readers to existing resources and information that may support new or developing truancy prevention programs. In addition to content regarding the issues of student absenteeism and truancy, the publication includes strategic planning activities to support team-based program development, prevention program strategies to support American Indian and Alaska Native Youth, and helpful resources to support program partnership and community collaboration.  

This project was supported by Grant #15PJDP-21-GK-04048-MUMU, awarded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is a component of the Office of Justice Programs, which also includes the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Institute of Justice, the SMART Office, and the Office for Victims of Crime.
