At least 192 middle school at-risk students will be identified by school personnel to participate in a school-based group. The groups will meet weekly for eight weeks and discuss common adolescent issues such as peer pressure, decision-making and school problems. The overall goal is to improve school attendance rates in New Castle County. Performance measures include: providing case management/counseling for 235 youth and their families; 2460 hours of case management/counseling; reduce by 15% the risks that contribute to truancy for 80% of families who actively participate in the Truancy Project and reduce truancy in 80% of youth who actively participate in the program.
