Understanding chronic absenteeism helps school professionals shift from punishment to early, supportive interventions that keep students engaged and learning.
FREE
Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 10% or more of required school hours in a year, is a critical indicator of student disengagement and risk. Unlike past approaches that focused on punitive measures for truancy, the updated attendance policies emphasize proactive support for all students, counting excused, unexcused, and medical absences toward thresholds. School professionals play a key role in early identification, positive communication with families, and collaboration with courts and community partners to prevent chronic absenteeism.
By implementing these strategies, schools can create stronger family-school partnerships, improve student outcomes, and address attendance challenges before they escalate.
