Overall, the data implies that a longer study is needed to gage what type of linear relationship exist between School Attendance and After-School Program Attendance.

The overarching challenge is for school districts to be able to proactively manage student attendance to ensure children are in school on a regular basis. Creating a culture of collaboration for student attendance, shared responsibility, and trust are key to address our national student attendance crisis.

Hubbird, Robert G. Advanced Search. Privacy Copyright. Skip to main content. Digital Commons NLU. Author Robert G. The project is an impact evaluation and process analysis of an urban middle school after-school recreation program. It is hypothesized that the after-school program will increase students' time spent in positive extracurricular activities and increase their academic grades and test scores. It will also reduce their time spent in self-care and watching television.

The study sample includes students who applied to the after-school program and were subsequently randomly assigned to the program or to a control group. The findings from the process evaluation suggest that the relationships between staff and students involved in the after-school program were overwhelmingly positive, and the students and their parents were satisfied with the program. The main challenges observed were the students' lower than expected utilization of the program, the staff's irregular attendance during the first year of the evaluation, and the difficulties in ensuring facility space and dedicated storage for program supplies.

The findings from the impact study demonstrate that the program had a significant and positive effect on program participants' time spent doing homework and on their educational aspirations. It also resulted in youths' spending significantly more time participating in strength training exercises at a fitness center than would have been the case otherwise.
