The Keep Kids in School Act aims to reduce chronic absenteeism and improve safety in public elementary and secondary schools.
The Keep Kids in School Act authorizes the Secretary of Education to award grants to State educational agencies. These agencies will then award subgrants to local educational agencies to help reduce chronic absenteeism and create safe learning environments in public elementary and secondary schools. Activities may include hiring additional counselors, mental health professionals, social workers, or family liaisons, and providing stipends to teachers for home visits.
