Reducing Chronic Absenteeism in Vermont Schools
A pediatrician at the UVM Children’s Hospital and associate professor of pediatrics, notes the potential consequences for children who are chronically absent from school.
There are clear data to show that kids who miss just two days of school a month are less likely to meet their academic milestones.
School absenteeism can be both an indicator of an unmet health or social need and also a strong predictor of long-term health and well-being. Chronic absenteeism—missing 10 percent or more of school days—is tied to poorer educational and health outcomes, lower graduation rates and even shorter life expectancy.
