United Independent School District implemented RaaWee K12 Truancy & Dropout Prevention System (TDPS) in the 2nd semester of school year 2014-2015. Within one year United ISD is noticing improvement in their attendance. With approx. 43,000 students enrolled in the District, comments from their Student Support Services Director are as follows:
"Since the implementation of TDPS in district, we have seen a positive interaction between parents and school officials in charge of addressing truancy and absences in general. Discovering ways to re-engage the student in the learning process becomes the main goal. By discovering the "barriers" and re-engaging our students in school, our district is seeing positive attendance rates throughout our district."

New law in Texas requires schools to place more focus and provide additional truant interventions to every child that is missing school. This has tremendously increased pressure and workload for school sites. In order to subside and manage the workload while improving ADA at its 38 campuses, Midland ISD has chosen to implement Collaboration & Interventions Module (C&I) from RaaWee K12 Truancy & Dropout Prevention System.
C&I Module will help MISD to provide individualized truant interventions and efficiently document them in a centralized system. This implementation will save thousands of work hours and will reduce workload for MISD staff across the district. Error-free information sharing and efficient collaboration amongst the stakeholders is guaranteed.
