Attendance Works has created a guide for accessing the 2013-14 CRDC to help filter the data for your state or LEA.
The Mapping the Early Attendance Gap brief encourages states to dig deep into their attendance data and determine the who, what, when, where and why of their chronic absence problem. These profiles document states that have begun this important work and shows how they have taken five key steps toward addressing chronic absence.
California
California’s experience illustrates the value of chronic absence being adopted, over time, as a priority by a cross-section of state champions who are now working together to cultivate awareness and action.
Rhode Island
The Rhode Island chronic absence work illustrates the power of combining pioneering local work with an effective “inside/outside” partnership at the state level.
Utah
Utah’s journey to reduce chronic absence illustrates how interest that begins with one sector—in this case, the afterschool community—can expand to a range of key stakeholders and spur statewide awareness and interest.
