Attendance Intervention Meeting
The Attendance Intervention Meeting (AIM) is hosted by the Washington County Attorney’s Office. This programs aims to help students and parents in an early, informal setting to:
- Learn about common factors that contribute to truancy, including:
- The pitfalls of ongoing attendance issues.
- The Truancy Diversion Services.
- The court action processes.
- Consult with Washington County attorneys and school officials to:
- Discuss questions and concerns.
- Obtain information for available services and resources to address barriers to consistent attendance.
This information is provided in an effort to encourage students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) to proactively seek support to resolve attendance issues and avoid further County intervention.
Attendance Intervention Meetings (AIM) is held twice per month in October - May, from 6 - 7:00 p.m. at two locations: the Cottage Grove Service Center and the Government Center.
Attendance Intervention Meetings (AIM) are held twice per month in a school calendar year.
