Chronic Absenteeism is a major issue, both nationally and in California specifically. In California, chronic absenteeism rates, or the percentage of students missing 10% of school days, was 25% (a decade ago it was 12%). Student attendance is often the first and clearest indicator of engagement and readiness to learn. Lack of student attendance also has major financial consequences for school districts.
Now more than ever, schools and districts need proven strategies to reduce student absenteeism - and to quickly address attendance issues before they become chronic.
In this session, we will talk about:
- Take a proactive approach to uncovering and addressing non-academic barriers to learning improved academic performance, reduces absenteeism, increased graduation rates, fewer disciplinary actions, and—most importantly— happier students.
- Use an early warning system alert so teams can respond based on chronic absenteeism, failing grades, suspension, and other factors to identify at-risk students in need of more intensive supports
- Strengthen MTSS plans and interventions with whole child data.
- Communicating with families and communities to reverse common misconceptions about absenteeism
