Without a doubt…Wednesday mornings during Covid in the school year became the most depressing; the weekly check in on missing students…’truancy case…CPS case…no, they supposedly moved to Florida, Grandma lost contact’. ‘No, that’s a truancy case…long term CPS case’.
‘What do we do about…? Who is actually accountable?’ ‘Um…actually, no one. There is no one…I think’.
‘Okay…they left materials on the porch and snapped a photo to prove they did it…the house was dark, no one answered the door’. ‘Ok…next class…long term truancy…nope, CPS…nope, no follow up’…’that phone number doesn’t work’…
We are losing these kids…
