Taking a Ride on a Merry-Go-Round: An Attempt at Systems Change in a Public School.

Rodell, Daniel E.

High School Journal, v62 n6 p257-62 Mar 1979

This article describes an attempt to reduce truancy through intervention in the school system. This strategy had two goals: (1) amelioration of truancy as manifested in individual patterns of behavior; (2) elimination of setting events and/or contingencies within the school system that evoke or reinforce truancy.
