[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid is considered chronically absent if they miss 15 days of school— excused and unexcused absences count towards the 15 days. The percentage of chronically absent students plays into school accreditation. That’s the real reason why FCPS cares. [/quote] It also reduces learning and can lead to social promotion of children who cannot read. FCPS cares about educating children, unlike cynical posters who don't care about 20% absenteeism at a school.[/quote] Do you have experience with a student who has been chronically absent?[/quote] I am a teacher at a Title 1 school with chronic absenteeism issues, yes.
