Programs Offered by the County
Truancy Prevention Program
Green County Human Services will utilize funds to continue the county's Truancy Prevention Program. The program provides two contracted staff that collaborate with every school and law enforcement agency in the county to provide assistance to families, services and transportation for youth, mentoring, and online schooling support to youth who have been expelled or not enrolled in formal education. The funds will be used to fund the contracted staff and provide incentives for youth enrolled in the program. The program serves to promote school attendance, reduce juvenile court referrals for truancy, and provide support and supervision for youth to remain in school, which in turn prevents delinquency and increases community safety.
