Child Welfare & Attendance

The Office of Child Welfare & Attendance with the East Baton Rouge Parish School System serves as an advocate for the children to ensure the success of students in school. To accomplish this, the Office of Child Welfare & Attendance will work closely with students, their parent/guardians and the school to facilitate enrollment and consistent attendance in the proper school setting.

The Office of Child Welfare & Attendance will conduct home visits to verify addresses of students so that they are enrolled in the proper school attendance zone. Parental contact will also be made when children have difficult in school and students fail to meet attendance requirements. Community agencies will be contacted as needed to provide families with the necessary resources and adjustments to overcome obstacles that prevent proper school attendance.

The Office of Child Welfare & Attendance is also committed to working closely with the Truancy Assessment and Service Center as well as Juvenile Services to take parents to Truancy Court if needed to encourage regular school attendance. Regular school attendance ensures the child will have the greatest opportunity for success.

Additionally, school social workers must have a valid certification from the Louisiana Department of Education.

Professional Conduct

Social workers maintain a high standard of professional conduct. They are governed by the Louisiana State Board of Social Work Examiners, the National Association of Social Workers code of ethics, and the School Social Work Association of America. The Louisiana legislature outlines the professional and occupational standards by which all social workers must adhere.
