Anderson, Kaitlin P. – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2020
Background: Exclusionary discipline (e.g. suspension and expulsion) is associated with lower student achievement, drop-out, and involvement in the juvenile justice system. Recently, states and school districts have begun to restrict exclusionary discipline, but there remains much to be learned about the potential impact on students. Research…

Lasky-Fink, Jessica; Robinson, Carly D.; Chang, Hedy Nai-Lin; Rogers, Todd – Educational Researcher, 2021
Many states mandate districts or schools notify parents when students have missed multiple unexcused days of school. We report a randomized experiment (N = 131,312) evaluating the impact of sending parents truancy notifications modified to target behavioral barriers that can hinder effective parental engagement. Modified truancy notifications that…

Lee, Won Fy; McNeely, Clea A.; Rosenbaum, Janet E.; Alemu, Besufekad; Renner, Lynette M. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
We examined the effect on attendance of a truancy court-diversion program for elementary students. Truancy court-diversion programs represent a shift from a law-and-order approach toward a public health model to address school absenteeism. Instead of directly referring parents of truant elementary students to child protection services or juvenile…

Archambault, Leanna; Kennedy, Kathryn; Bender, Stacy – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2013
Although mandatory attendance is easily determined in a traditional, brick-and-mortar school, monitoring and enforcing attendance and truancy in an online environment is less obvious. Despite this challenge, virtual schools, especially those that are publicly funded, have a requirement to ensure that students who are enrolled are actually logging…
