Project Description
Subject Summary, December 2005
Authors: Tim Zuel & Anita Larson
The purpose of this study is to begin the exploration of child protection intervention into educational neglect in the State of Minnesota. The findings from this study are taken from the brief period between 2000 and 2001 where the State of Minnesota collected Social Services Information System (SSIS) child protection maltreatment findings of educational neglect, providing a unique opportunity to study the attendance of these students. This study found that attendance rates improved between the first and the second year of the study for children who had been involved in the Child Protection Services system due to chronic absenteeism.

Child welfare-relevant evaluation findings, which include current policies and practices affecting Title IV-E eligible families and children, are incorporated into these supplemental training materials.
Each Subject Summary contains features such as discussion questions, selected references, additional resources, suggested guest speakers and a PowerPoint presentation.
