Students who are chronically absent are less likely to succeed academically and more likely to drop out of school.

By establishing a continuum of supports through MTSS (ex. Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier3), school teams can use data to drive decisions specifically aimed at improving attendance?

• Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)
• Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

Chronic absenteeism affects students who benefit from school the most, especially students who are low-income, students of color, homeless children, students with disabilities, students who are highly transient, and/or juvenile justice-involved youth.
