These days, I'm focused on school funding, but happy to talk about Attendance Playbook I worked on with FutureEd and Attendance Works. There are lots of evidence-based ways to reduce absenteeism.

With schools still dealing with high chronic absenteeism rates, there is a body of research that shows what works to bring students back to school everyday. Find evidence-based strategies in this playbook I compiled for FutureEd and Attendance Works #edusky. www.future-ed.org/attendance-p...
