Matt Hennesy took over as Truancy Officer this time last year. Hennesy was forced to take 38 students to truancy court in the month of March and 14 students failed the second semester due to truancy. Hennesy says since he implemented a new system for the middle and high school, he has seen a significant improvement.

At the end of the first semester, three students failed to show up to school at all and there were a handful of students who missed their first period and seventh period class.

Hennesy says he didn't have to take any students to truancy court this month.
