The fight against frequent student absences has been a top priority for many school districts in recent years, and districts are renewing their attendance-boosting efforts as they settle into a new school year.
Students fall behind when they frequently miss school, reducing their chances of reading at grade level in the early years and, later on, completing high school.
Frequent student absences also hurt the students who do show up, as teachers struggle to establish classroom norms and a culture of learning in an environment with constant student churn.
In some states, high rates of chronic absences can have financial consequences for school districts and count against schools on state accountability measures.
