| Description: |
The Los Angeles County SARB serves as an advisory board for SARBs throughout Los Angeles County. We provide training on how to implement an effective SARB, and improve student attendance.
|
| How Program is Funded: |
There is minimal cost to operate the program other than a room to meet in, and duplication of materials. |
|
Evidence of Effectiveness:
|
Internal evaluation in progress, External evaluation in progress, Annual Report
|
How do you know your program is effective: We have found that by implementing SARB in all school districts, the number of students who are truant decreases. The more collaborative the board, the better served are the students.
|
What has not worked in the program any why: Newer SARBs do not enjoy the same level of collaboration that more established SARBs do, but this does change over time.
