Truancy Intervention Project

TTruancy Intervention Project (TIP) was created in late 1991 to mitigate truancy and chronic absenteeism in Fulton County. Our mission is to increase student attendance and opportunities for success through legal and family advocacy. TIP is uniquely dedicated exclusively to arresting school truancy. Through our continued partnerships with Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton County Schools, and the Fulton County Juvenile Court, TIP promotes the importance of school attendance among students and their families and intervenes directly with students who are truant or at risk of becoming truant. These students are paired with trained volunteers who work to identify the root causes of the child’s absenteeism and who help the family access the resources needed to get the child’s attendance back on track. Over its 30-year history, TIP has demonstrated proven success with over 11,000 children served, diverting 86.5% of these students from the juvenile justice system.
