Grants to reduce chronic student absence: supporting school attendance and learning.
This Act establishes a competitive grant program for local educational agencies (LEAs) with high chronic student absence rates (20% or more) to implement strategies to improve attendance. Citizens can expect that agencies receiving these funds will offer support such as transportation services, mentorship programs, and home visits to assess student well-being and learning loss. The goal is to reduce the chronic absence rate of eligible agencies.
Key points
Targeted School Funding: The Secretary of Education will award competitive grants to eligible LEAs to reduce their chronic student absence rate.
Use of Funds: Grants can cover transportation services, establishing student mentorship programs, acquiring data tools to monitor absence, and recruiting specialized instructional support personnel.
Home Visits: Funds may be used for performing visits at students' residences (for those absent 10% or more of school days) to evaluate their well-being and identify risk factors contributing to learning loss.
