Educational Neglect
Funded by the federal Children’s Justice Act through
Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare, the
Educational Neglect project focuses on three goals; 1)
conducting a national policy review, 2) assessing the
presence and extent of educational neglect in Idaho, and
3) presenting policy options for Idaho policymakers.
Educational neglect occurs when students do not receive
an education. At this time, Idaho has no policy
addressing neglect and no mechanism for monitoring
educational neglect among our children.
