Pennsylvania HB1883 aims to prevent and support chronic absence in schools by categorizing attendance data and implementing targeted interventions.

HB1883 mandates that Pennsylvania schools collect and report daily attendance data, categorized by absence rates and reasons. Schools must develop School Attendance Improvement Plans (SAIP) aligned with a Multitiered System of Supports (MTSS) to address chronic absence. These plans include tiered interventions, coordination with counselors and community partners, and monitoring of progress. The Department of Education will provide guidance, training, and technical assistance, and will target resources to schools most in need.
