📊 Attendance Matters!
Data from FutureEd shows that chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more of the school year) is improving nationwide, but no state has returned to pre-pandemic levels yet.
📌 Why this is important:
Every day in class matters! Being present helps students stay on track academically, build relationships, and feel connected to school.
👀 Curious about our state?
Parents and community members can use the interactive tracker to see where Illinois stands and how attendance compares across states!
