Being Present Matters
Perspective | Being present matters: Addressing chronic absenteeism requires community-wide solutions
Addressing chronic absenteeism is not just the responsibility of schools — it’s a shared responsibility for all of us. By coming together to remove the barriers that keep students from attending school, we can create a brighter, more equitable future for all. Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and that starts with ensuring they have the support they need to show up, learn, and thrive.
