Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge schools in Georgia following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In response, GaDOE initiated a statewide program featuring a live attendance dashboard, awareness campaigns, and targeted assistance for districts in greatest need to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, state lawmakers amended school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely based on absenteeism. This legislation brought new requirements for reporting and supports efforts to help students earn diplomas through alternative pathways.
