Dropout Prevention
"Chronic absenteeism correlates to low academic achievement, is a powerful predictor of dropout rates, and has been linked to poor outcomes later in life. Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing ten percent or more of the academic year for any reason, including excused absences, unexcused absences, and suspensions. Based on a 180-day school year, that means approximately 18 days per year or 2 to 3 days per month."
