Supporting students who are chronically absent and at risk for not graduating high school.

The bill addresses excessive absenteeism and truancy by developing early warning systems to identify and support students who are chronically absent. It mandates training and coaching for educators and staff to engage families, provide academic and systemic supports, and connect students to health services. The bill defines "students who are chronically absent" as those missing 10 percent or more of school days. It also outlines criteria for grant funding to support dropout reengagement programs, focusing on academic instruction, case management, and counseling.
