Addressing common root causes of chronic absenteeism—and how to identify and address these challenges effectively

Chronic absenteeism is a critical issue for K-12 schools and districts. Pre-pandemic, about eight million (or 15%) U.S. children were chronically absent. Absenteeism has increased since COVID-19 began, and test scores have also fallen.

Evidence shows that improving school engagement is the main factor that impacts academic success, the economy, and society as a whole. But it takes more than just boosting student engagement.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss this complex challenge and what approaches are working to get students back in the classroom and learning.
