Several news media outlets were on hand for the first day of the program – here’s what they had to say:
Attendance Improvement Management Comes to West Oso High School
“ A state of the art G.P.S. tracking system. is now part of a new program that kicked off today in the West Oso School district. It’s called “A.I.M.” and it’s aimed not only at stopping truancy but also at keeping more kids from dropping out of school.”

“Our first goal is to align with the kids and find out what success means to them. Eighty percent of what we do is coaching, and that’s what allows us to change the student’s behavior and reshape the way they think about school and the decisions they make.”

“We call these kids in the morning to make sure they are up and ready to go, and then throughout the day we interact with these kids 6 to 8 times a day. We have them doing something or we’re interacting with them and the reason we do that is to keep these students engaged and to hold them accountable and make sure they are doing what they need to be doing,” said CEO of AIM Travis Knox.”
