New Jersey S294 requires certain school districts to establish attendance review teams to address chronic absenteeism if the district rate is 10% or more, or if any school within the district has a rate of 15% or more. The Department of Education must develop a chronic absenteeism prevention and intervention plan, including definitions, effects on academic performance, and ways to improve attendance through family and school partnerships. The plan may also include a mentorship model and incentives for schools and students that improve attendance.
