Abstract
AbstractPrevious educational research has found that the school principal, by initiating home contacts, can have a positive influence upon the attendance of chronically absent students. The present study investigated whether or not it made a difference if an elementary school principal personally made those contacts or delegated that responsibility to a school secretary. ANCOVA techniques failed to discern any difference resulting from differential treatment. Students in both treatment groups demonstrated a significant increase in attendance rates compared to the previous year, thus reaffirming the value of the home contacts themselves.
