FNP Home Visitation
If a student’s absence reached 20% or a parent agreed to a
home visit, the FNP and social worker visited the home. The
project of home visits was conducted during school hours by
the FNP and social worker and had five potential outcomes:
1. No one was at home, child was not at home, or person at
home was not the custodial parent.
2. No one was at home, and a neighbor reported no one
by that name lived there.
3. Someone was at home but did not answer the door.
4. A parent answered the door but closed it in less than
30 s.
5. A parent answered the door, communicated with the
FNP and social worker, and sometimes allowed the FNP
to examine the child.
If the family did not live at the given address, the social
worker reported the information to the school system’s assistant
registrar who investigates families with children enrolled
in schools, who do not live in district. The family then must
prove residency or leave the school system after 30 days
