The Social Services Committee has approved several intermunicipal and contractual agreements with the Albany Police Department, Together for Youth, and the Cohoes City School District to reinstate the Truancy Abatement Program. This collaborative initiative is designed to identify and engage students who are chronically absent from school and provide early intervention by connecting students and their families with educational, behavioral health, and social service resources.

The County Legislature is proud to invest in our youth and support partnerships that strengthen countywide efforts to improve school attendance, enhance youth safety, and reduce youth violence. Through these coordinated efforts, we can help ensure that young people receive the support they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.
