The state’s initiative to address this includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and extra assistance for districts with the highest needs to improve daily attendance.
In 2025, legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers revamped school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsions exclusively due to absenteeism. The update introduced new reporting standards and supports alternative diploma pathways.
