SCHOOL ATTENDANCE, PROTECTED SOCIETY

School Attendance, Protected Society is a strategic and educational initiative designed to address one of the most silent but damaging challenges facing American schools today: chronic student absenteeism.

This project proposes an urgent, practical, and age-appropriate response to a growing crisis where thousands of students—especially teenagers in single-parent or blended households—refuse to attend school while their parents often feel powerless.

Structured around early intervention, responsibility, and community partnership, the program introduces a new local mechanism called the UVEP – Local Educational Response Unit, which reacts on the very first day of unexcused absence. It also establishes clear, constructive sanctions that teach discipline, restore educational authority, and prevent students from using loopholes to avoid school.

The project promotes a proportional approach based on age, encourages parental support, and strengthens accountability for adolescents. It rejects the ineffective model of “home suspension” and replaces it with productive, educational activities that build responsibility and character.

Developed with a vision for local and nationwide implementation, School Attendance, Protected Society is a proposal focused on protection, structure, and long-term social impact. Its goal is simple and essential:

When students are present at school, society becomes safer, stronger, and better prepared for the future.
