Arizona Serve PUSD Attendance Success Coordinator

Prescott Unified School District (PUSD) is a public school district over 100 years old that is committed to “Every Child, Every Day.” During the 2016-2017 school year, PUSD began monitoring students who were chronically absent from school and reaching out to families to address what was keeping students from attending. Trends were noticed, but systems have not been put into place to effectively communicate with these families and address their needs. The AmeriCorps VISTA member at PUSD will build systems that can effectively communicate with households struggling with chronic absence and assist in the implementation of programs and interventions and can address their needs. During the 2019-2020 school year, 2,750 K-8 children will be monitored, 700 chronically absent students will receive follow-up, and 400 will receive specially designed absenteeism interventions such as meetings, restorative circles, and other interventions.
