All services through the CWA Office seek to maximize students' learning opportunities to progress toward graduation and prepare for college and career success.
School attendance is extremely important when it comes to student success. This includes academic achievement, students social emotional well-being, and their ability to obtain life skills that will benefit them in the future. California compulsory education law requires everyone between the ages of six and eighteen years of age to attend school full-time (E.C. 48200).
Child Welfare and Attendance Department (CWA) supports student attendance through the process of:
- Conducting Student Attendance Review Board Hearings (SARB)
- Educating parents about the law and district policy
- Enforcing California’s Compulsory Attendance Laws
- Partnering with the Department of Social Services and community based agencies
- Providing school site support with Student Attendance Review Team conferences (SART)
- Referrals to truancy court
- Team Home Visits
CWA supports school sites, students and their families to ensure that all students attend school regularly. Many factors may influence school attendance and our goal is to help families overcome barriers. CWA also provides supportive services that consist of:
- Case management
- Bullying prevention support
- Homeless education and resources
- Parent education
- Referrals to mental health support
- Referrals to school/ community-based resources
