Breaking Down Barriers: Tackling Chronic Absenteeism in K-12 Education

The Invisible Barrier
Chronic absenteeism in K-12 education is an invisible barrier, quietly eroding the future potential of countless students one missed day at a time.

In Episode 268 of Class Dismissed, we explore ideas for districts to tackle chronic absenteeism.
The DL Link
For instance, several states have implemented measures linking school attendance to the ability to obtain a driver's license to combat chronic absenteeism. In states like California, Florida, and Tennessee, students under a certain age must meet specific attendance requirements to receive or maintain their driver's licenses. The logic behind these policies is that the incentive of a driver's license can motivate students to attend school regularly.
SchoolStatus Attend
We also talked with Dr. Kara Stern. Stern currently serves as the Director of Education and Engagement at SchoolStatus.SchoolStatus offers a suite of products, but one, in particular, has some proven ways to approve attendance.

SchoolStatus Attend is a data-driven attendance management solution that helps educators automate attendance interventions and provide positive reinforcement to improve daily attendance. It reduces administrative workload by automating outreach through letters, postcards, and digital messages.
