Research Conversation: Chronic Absenteeism

Chronic absenteeism has traditionally been defined as a student missing at least 10% of days in a school year. The pandemic has ushered in a new category of “extreme chronic absenteeism,” where a student is absent for 50% or more of school days. This is an urgent challenge for educators, administrators, and families. The good news is that many of the high-value practices for creating a strong school culture are also interventions for chronic absenteeism.
