ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Research shows that missing 15 days, in most school districts, negatively affects a student’s academic performance.
Students who live in communities with high levels of poverty are four times more likely to be chronically absent.
Often absences are tied to health problems, such as asthma, diabetes, and oral and mental health issues.
When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating.
