Abstract

In the late 1990s, a majority of states adopted policies linking welfare cash assistance to satisfactory school attendance. This article summarizes evidence from seven evaluations of school‐attendance requirements prior to the passage of welfare reform in 1996. It also presents a case study of one California county’s postreform program. Programs that fail to accompany sanctions with case management resources do not significantly improve attendance. Further, these programs reinforce the faulty assumption that truancy, rather than illness, is the major cause of attendance problems. However, the use of attendance monitoring to trigger social service interventions has merit.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
