The Attendance Department at the South Central Ohio Educational Service Center places services to School Districts in Scioto, Adams, and Jackson Counties as well as other agencies at the heart of our mission. We provide services to help School Districts deal with students who fail to attend school as required by the Ohio Revised Code. Another service offered to the partner School Districts is to help them manage and track the students who choose to receive their education through the Home Schooling option that is permitted by the Ohio Revised Code. Services for School Bus Driver Certification, School Bus Driver In-Services and background checks are also provided by the Attendance Department. Background checks through the National WebCheck Program are also provided for many other agencies in our area. Our goal is to provide the most convenient and helpful service possible to all School Districts and agencies that request our services. We as the Attendance Office staff are committed to reaching this goal and work hard daily to see that it is reached.
