Description

Truancy, the chronic intentional missing of school by a school-age child or adolescent without a legitimate excuse, has been an issue since the beginning of mandatory and compulsory education in the 1800s (Gleich-Bope, 2014; Maynard et al., 2017; Mazerolle, Antrobus, Bennett, & Eggins, 2017). Although appearing as a simple act of skipping school, truancy is often the culmination and product of numerous risk factors spanning from actions of the pregnant mother, to the mental health of the child and/or parents, to environmental issues such as geographic location and the resources of the school the child attends. This dissertation takes an in-depth look at the history of truancy within the United States and Connecticut (CT) as well as the relevant laws and policies impacting this topic. To better understand truancy, the multitude of risk factors that place a child at risk for truancy will also be examined. The biopsychosocial model developed by Engel in 1977 will be utilized to organize the risk and remediation factors into biological, psychological, and social elements. Using the ecological systems theory developed by Bronfenbrenner in 1979, recent and current truancy interventions will be examined through the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. This project culminates in a guidebook for schools in Connecticut containing important information regarding truancy and suggestions for how schools can respond preventatively to truancy. This includes a truancy risk assessment screening tool and semi-structured clinical interview for mental health professionals to better understand what is leading students and families to be more likely to experience truancy. Resource lists for mental health professionals, parents/guardians, and schools are also included. The aim of this dissertation is to provide a comprehensive understanding of truancy and provide schools with a framework to assess and address truancy—a common, yet under addressed issue. Future directions include using this as a guide for other states to critically examine their own history and approach to truancy in order to better the lives of students, families, and communities alike.
