In partnership with Hennpin County Attorney’s office and all the Hennepin County School Districts, the purpose of this program is to increase student’s school attendance. When a student has a number of unexcused absences, he/she is referred to Ka Joog by the Hennpin County Attorney’s office to work with the student and their family to get the student back to school as soon possible.
The mission of be@school is “to increase school attendance and improve community connections across Hennepin County through a collaborative early intervention providing education and support services to school-age youth and their families.”
