Norristown Truancy Abatement Initiative

in

The Norristown Truancy Abatement Initiative is a five-pronged approach to reducing the rate of unexcused absences in the Norristown Area School District and increasing the graduation rate of at-risk youth. Activities within this initiative include early identification of at-risk youth, enforcement of truancy and daytime curfew, on-site assessments at court, follow-up and community outreach/education. 

The Truancy Abatement Initiative is sponsored by Norristown Area Communities That Care for Youth (CTC).  Partners in this initiative include:

  • Norristown Police Department

  • Norristown Weed and Seed

  • Norristown Area School District

  • Greater Norristown Police Athletic League (PAL)

  • Central Montgomery Mental Health/Mental Retardation Center (MH/MR)

  • Carson Valley Children’s Aid Society/Norristown Family Center

  • Glen Mills Community Management Services
