I am proud to say that our truancy law is working in King County. Many young people have returned to school because schools, courts, and community volunteers are intervening in truancy prevention efforts. Although we will never know how many of these children would have entered the criminal justice system, we do know that every child returned to school has a better chance to travel a different path. I ask each of you browsing this web site to consider finding some way to support your local school or Community Truancy Board. Reaching out to a troubled young person in need may be just enough for them to make a different life choice.
Young people are our future.
