Child Welfare & Attendance

Child Welfare & Attendance is a specialized student support service that covers compliance with compulsory education laws, student admission and enrollment procedures, student discipline procedures, transfers to alternative programs, and school climate and safety. Child welfare and attendance combines the knowledge and skill of counseling with knowledge of education and the law to resolve complicated situations involving school choice, student discipline, campus safety, and programs for high-risk youth.

KCSOS provides professional development workshops to School Administrators, Child Welfare and Attendance Supervisors, and other school staff who are working in this capacity. In addition, KCSOS helps coordinate other related efforts that supports this work such as truancy sweeps, Community of Practice networks, and other school attendance efforts.
