Minn-LInK Report Brief—Special Topic No. 37, Fall 2018
Authors: McNeely, C., Lee, W. F., Alemu, B., Rosenbaum, J. & Renner, L. M.

The purpose of this study was to present findings from a rigorous evaluation of whether a court diversion program in Ramsey County, Minnesota improved school attendance for chronically absent students in grades 2-10. This study answered two questions:

  1. Did FTIP and TIP reduce absenteeism in the year following referral to the program?
  2. Were there racial or ethnic disparities in referral to FTIP and TIP?
