[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not seen a truancy van since pre-cv. Truancy rates are super high. I'm not sure it will impact daytime crime as much as it used to. Hope someone gets these kids back in school and on a good path so they have better future options. [/quote] Truancy rates are horrible and impact the city in multiple ways - lower test scores, higher crime, bleak long term outlook for these kids. The city needs to step up accountability for parents whose kids are not showing up for school. https://osse.dc.gov/dcschoolreportcard/attendance 63.65% of DC highschool kids are chronically absent!
