We have profiled several community and school efforts to increase attendance and keep children engaged in school. These efforts are at several levels: county, regional service agency, schools, and community organizations. These are just a few of the many efforts across our region. We provide contact information so you can reach the programs for additional information.

Note: The following profile contains excerpts from a previously published article in Northwest Education, Spring 2004, "Healing Wounds" by Joyce Riha Linik ( www.nwrel.org/nwedu/09-03/healing.php).
