What is Chronic Absenteeism?
Chronic Absenteeism is defined as missing 10% or more of school for any reason. Being chronically absent has a significant impact on a student’s ability to read at grade level, perform academically, and graduate on time. It is a proven predictor of academic failure and dropout rates.
