This book investigates the multifaceted causes of student truancy and provides a framework for effective intervention strategies to improve school attendance rates. Ken Reid, a recognized expert in the field of educational attendance and student welfare, draws upon extensive research and practical experience to analyze why students disengage from the school environment. The text presents a structured approach for educators, administrators, and support staff to identify at-risk students early and implement targeted, evidence-based solutions that address both individual and systemic barriers to consistent attendance.

Experts in educational administration frequently cite this work as a foundational resource for developing comprehensive attendance policies. Readers often note the practical utility of the strategies provided, which bridge the gap between theoretical research and daily school operations.
