School districts are facing a crisis of chronic absenteeism, with roughly 1 in 4 students missing a significant amount of school days, leading to drops in academic achievement nationally.
Parents often fail to recognize chronic absenteeism, with only about a third able to define it. The number of chronically absent students has surged from 8 million to over 14.6 million post-pandemic.
Missing just two days a month can lead to chronic absenteeism, a fact that many parents overlook. This, coupled with a lack of understanding and ownership, contributes to the issue.
