Maryland schools hail absenteeism drop but miss target
Original: School officials celebrate drop in chronic absenteeism, but are still shy of goal
School officials in Maryland are celebrating a significant decline in chronic absenteeism among students, calling the improvement a sign that recovery efforts after the pandemic are taking hold. Despite the progress, attendance rates have not yet returned to the levels officials had set as their goal, and they say more work is needed to get students back in classrooms consistently.
Why now: Chronic absenteeism remains a pressing education concern as schools work to recover from pandemic-era attendance losses.
