Every Day Counts: Leveraging the New Guidance Document to Reduce Chronic Absenteeism

Wednesday July 15, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm CDT

Room 209

Chronic absenteeism is more than an attendance issue—it is a leading indicator of student disengagement, academic risk, and long-term outcomes. In Every Day Counts, participants will explore why consistent attendance matters and how schools and districts can move from reactive responses to proactive, systems-based solutions. This session introduces the newly released guidance document and walks attendees through its key components, including prevention strategies, early warning indicators, tiered interventions, and collaborative practices that strengthen school-family partnerships.
