Student Attendance Enforcement

Mission Statement

The Attendance Department is committed to promoting student achievement by supporting regular and consistent school attendance in accordance with Ohio law. Through a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, we work closely with families, resource coordinators, and social workers to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to absenteeism. Our mission is to remove barriers to attendance by connecting families with appropriate supports and services, fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment where every student is positioned to succeed.

WCESC coordinates a county-wide student attendance policy as a joint venture between juvenile court staff and school district staff. Attendance officers from WCESC assist school districts with student residency issues and enforcement of Ohio’s compulsory attendance laws and the school district’s policy for student attendance.

WCESC collaborates with Warren County Juvenile Court to provide education and support to parents and youth working to improve attendance. Truancy Education Groups are held each month for those court ordered to attend. An online mini course is available to anyone, regardless of court order.
