Abstract: (2008) was a collaborative effort between the school district and county commissioners with the shared goal of increasing student achievement and healthy development by providing and sustaining family, school and community prevention and intervention programs. One of the services provided by the SFAS program was the addition of a truancy intervention panel (TIP) in the 35 district schools receiving services. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a TIP on the percentages of students with 15 or more days absent (dependent variable) along with analyzing the responses of panel members pertaining to the effectiveness of the TIP. This was a longitudinal study measuring the dependent variable reported by each of the 108 schools in the district. The percentage rates of TIP schools were compared to non-TIP schools
