Counties Served: DeK alb Program Description
The DeKalb County Truancy Intervention Program (DCTIP) offers a combination of intervention and remediation services to all public school districts in DeKalb County. Intervention services are aimed at identifying truants, chron- ic truants and potential dropouts in K-12 and providing them with effective resources. Services are largely rendered by truancy outreach workers (caseworkers) and include: parent education, absentee recovery, tutoring, mentoring, counseling and referrals to social service agencies. Remediation services allow students who have fallen behind the opportunity to recover lost course credits through online credit recovery (middle and high school). These students receive academic support and tutoring so they may achieve academically and rejoin classmates on the road to gradu- ation.

ROE #20 Edward/Gallatin/Hardin/Pope/Saline/Wabash/
Wayne/White - Learning Alternative Branch
Counties Served: Edward, Gallatin, Hardin, Pope, Saline, W abash, W ayne and W hite Program Description
ROE #20 has worked with strategic planning group to study the needs of at-risk adolescents in Edwards, Gallatin, Hardin, Pop, Saline, Wabash, Wayne and White Counties. Five strategic goals have been identified for this project: (1) Delivering two comprehensive optional education programs in the northern (Mill Shoals) and southern (Harrisburg) tiers of the ROE #20 area; (2) Providing specialized intervention services to at-risk adolescents in high school and to elementary students needing individual attention; (3) Formulating a region-wide group to address the needs of elementary-level at-risk adolescents likely to exhibit behaviors requiring pre-high school remediation; (4) Collaborating with the region’s social service agencies to provide comprehensive community-based interventions for at-risk adolescents with problems not being met through the region’s schools; and (5) Establishing a region-wide feasibility task force to explore bringing all of the region’s at-risk youth together in one school complex.
Several initiatives have been identified for the ROE #20 TAOEP. These initiatives will allow the region to: utilize the PBIS network to promote the social and academic success of at-risk adolescents; utilize the three-tier Response to Intervention model for school supports for targeted adolescent and intensive interventions; establish two intensive learning centers in the optional education programs for students who need an environment with a lower student/ teacher ratio; employ life coaches to provide positive support for students who want to improve their lives in special ways; and increase the number of interventionists who can provide supplemental services to chronic truants.
