I have already begun work on a new research plan that was spawned from my original plan. Our goal is to reduce the number of credits lost due to poor attendance. Based on the original research we have found there is a core group of students who are responsible for the majority of attendance issues. We will be working to form mentor/student groups in order to assist these specific students. We are in the early stages of planning but the basic concept will be to start with a small group of teachers who will monitor 5 students each. The students will report to these teachers before school each day. The teacher will monitor the students attendance and counsel them when they are falling behind. If the plan is successful we will expand the number of teachers and continue until the majority of students have repaired their attendance.
