We're engaging community members as partners in the schools' efforts to:

• Raise community awareness of the problem of student absenteeism

• Improve attendance levels in public schools

• Increase collaboration among all Boyd County Schools

• Improve business and community relationships through collaboration

• Develop TV campaign

• Join us in sharing information, tools, and responsibility for improving student attendance in our community

• When you see youth on the streets or near your business during school hours, simply ask them, "Why Aren't You in School Today?"

• Call your local district office 928-4141 to report locations where you repeatedly see youth congregating

• A static sticker to display in your window to show your support of student school attendance and the Why Aren't You In School Today? campaign

• A poster to display in your business or somewhere in your neighborhood

Click here to download and print the poster

• A What To Do If... point sheet to assist you with positive dialogue with youth

• A school calendar highlighting dates that each school in Boyd County is CLOSED
