Welcome, Douglas County Partners!
SupportEd is a community-based truancy diversion program for K-8 students in Douglas County, KS. We aim to keep students and families out of court for truancy by using data-backed, behavioral solutions focused on rehabilitation.

At least ONE unexcused absence on:
-
three consecutive school days,
-
five school days in a semester, OR
-
seven school days in a school year.​
An ABSENCE is defined as missing:
-
1 + hours for elementary school, OR
