SolutionsChronic Absence

Draft copy — placeholder

By the time a chronic-absence list reaches a principal, the students on it have already missed too much to catch up.

Surface the students trending toward chronic absence while there is still a school year left to change it.

How we work it

  1. See who is sliding, not just who has slid

    The attendance dashboard reads the 5–10% band as well as the 10%+ threshold, so a student shows up before they cross it.

  2. Understand why

    Behavior screening and attendance rarely move independently. Reading them together separates a transportation problem from a belonging problem.

  3. Give the student someone

    Students who can name a trusted adult come back. The mapper finds the students nobody has claimed.

  4. Track whether it worked

    Log the intervention, then check the same attendance trend six weeks later against students who got nothing.
