Effective Solutions for Chronic Abstenteeism

February 12 @ 10:15 am - 11:15 am CST

Event Series

Chronic absenteeism is one of the most pressing challenges facing K-12 education today-with far-reaching impacts on academic achievement, equity, and long-term student success. But solving it requires more than just tracking attendance. It demands a deeper understanding of the data, the barriers students face, and the motivations that bring them back to school. In this session, we’ll explore how schools and districts can harness data to identify trends, uncover root causes, and target supports more effectively.

We’ll discuss how to design and implement proactive, personalized, and sustainable truancy intervention plans. And most importantly, we’ll look at strategies for creating environments and experiences that make students want to be in school by connecting learning to their lives, aspirations, and sense of belonging. Whether you’re a district leader, school administrator, or support staff member, this session will offer practical tools and inspiring ideas for reducing chronic absenteeism.
