SEVENTY PEOPLE ATTEND THE APS PUBLIC MEETING AT MANZANO HIGH SCHOOLS ON TRUANCY SATURDAY. BUT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS COMMENTED ON TWITTER. DISTRICT SPOKESPERSON MONICA ARMENTA TELLS US APS HAS PLANS ALREADY IN PLACE TO ADDRESS TRUANCY … LIKE HIRING MORE SOCIAL AND TRUANCY WORKERS TO MAKE DAILY PHONE CALLS AND OUTREACH EFFORTS.
SHE SAYS IT ALSO REVOLVES AROUND NETWORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND IDENTIFYING PROGRAMS THAT SHOW SUCCESS AND CAN BE USED IN SCHOOLS IN ALBUQUERQUE.
ARMENTA SAYS THE MAIN GOAL OF LAST WEEK'S 3-DAY TRUANCY BLITZ PRIOR TO SATURDAY'S MEETING WAS TO GET PEOPLE TALKING. APS WILL PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE COMMENTS AFTER IT'S SIFTED THROUGH AND CATALOGUED THEM.
