The Prince George's County Board of Education  launched an anti-truancy campaign in August and has joined members of the community in a series of "community walks" to place anti-truancy posters in local businesses and encourage citizens to report students who are not in class during the school day. Posters encourage the community to assist in the Board's anti-truancy initiative and provide a phone number (301-333-4000) to anonymously report students who are truant from school. The initiative is also being promoted through public service announcements on television and radio.

Prince George's County Board Of Education is also hosting community meetings.  Read more about the Anti-Truancy Initiative and the Community Meetings.
