Truancy Program Overview

P.A.T.H. Program Truancy Prevention Services

Truancy Prevention Services:

  • Schools may refer students 12-16 years old that have 3 or more unexcused absences and reside in Scott County. School must notify the parent/guardian that the student is being referred to TreeHouse Prevention services.
  • Schools may contact TreeHouse P.A.T.H. Program Coordinators to refer a student directly by phone, email, or an online form on our website.
  • This prevention approach is to improve school attendance by recognizing students earlier that may be struggling; with the goal of preventing the filing of formal truancy with Scott County.
  • TreeHouse staff will contact the parent/guardian, within two business days once the referral has been made, then proceed in obtaining a release of information and starting the process of identifying the barriers that may have contributed to the student’s school attendance.
  • If for some reason the parent/guardian cannot be reached within 10 days using several methods, TreeHouse staff will notify the school. Please note: If a student reaches seven (7) unexcused absences WITHOUT participating in P.A.T.H. Prevention Services, they will be referred to school to go through the formal truancy process.
  • Prevention Services are ongoing and will focus on assessing student and family strengths, needs, risk factors and developing a plan to improve school attendance. TreeHouse support groups, mentoring, and group activities are often used as a vital part of the plan.
