Work continues to crack down on truancy in Pulaski County’s schools. The West Central School Board got an update on the effort last week, according to Superintendent Don Street.
“[Middle/High School Principal] Mr. [Pat] Culp and the administration have been working closely with county officials in developing a county-wide truancy program and guidelines,” Street explains. “Not that truancy is a rampant issue at West Central, but they’re taking the proactive steps in not allowing it to become a problem.”
In addition to administrators at both of the county’s school corporations, the effort also involves Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative Coordinator Natalie Federer, Prosecutor Dan Murphy, and the Probation Department, among others.
