Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reports. To address the issue, GaDOE has introduced a statewide campaign involving a real-time attendance dashboard, a public education initiative, and targeted interventions for districts with higher needs to improve attendance among students.
