HAMMONDSVILLE The Edison Local School District is looking to reduce chronic absenteeism and is seeing some positive results with the addition of a new truancy officer.
School board members approved the hiring of Anthony Pierro during the Feb. 25 regular meeting, but his contract is retroactive to Feb. 1. Superintendent Bill Beattie said Pierro’s presence already has yielded improvements among student attendance and leaders want to maintain the momentum.
“We’ve been monitoring our chronic absenteeism since the beginning of October and there’s so much responsibility on the principals, guidance counselors and SRO’s, so the board made a commitment to hire someone to handle absenteeism in the district,” Beattie said.
