The center’s mission is to disseminate evidence based practices and build communities of practice to help students attend every day, be engaged in school, and succeed academically. These efforts will help all students graduate high school prepared for college, career, and civic life.

NSAESC held an online summit on April 3rd and 4th to kick off the Center and its partnership with the US Department of Education’s Office of Safe and Healthy Schools. Participants heard from national experts on chronic absenteeism, early warning systems, and the Success Mentor strategy, and asked questions about using chronic absenteeism as an indicator to measure school quality or student success in Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) plans.

Keep an eye out for the center’s new website, to be released soon. In the meantime look for resources from other partners who are contributing to the work of the NSAESC:
