This bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to allow local educational agencies to use federal funds for programs and activities designed to address chronic absenteeism. It specifically targets students who miss or are at risk of missing 10 percent or more of school days, providing a framework for comprehensive interventions. Key provisions include implementing advanced data collection systems to track attendance, identify early warning indicators, and disaggregate data across various student demographics, such as homeless status and foster care. The bill also promotes data-sharing agreements with social services and requires public reporting of chronic absenteeism data, while safeguarding personally identifiable information. The legislation emphasizes robust family engagement through advisory systems, counseling in primary languages, home visits, and dedicated parent resource spaces within schools. It supports the establishment of tiered systems of support , professional development for educators, and strategic partnerships with local health, transportation, and community organizations to dismantle barriers to school attendance. Furthermore, the bill encourages evidence-based strategies like restorative justice to reduce suspensions, social and emotional learning to foster stronger student-teacher relationships, and high-impact tutoring programs to enhance student engagement and academic outcomes. Crucially, it requires local educational agencies to provide an assurance that they will not implement policies involving suspensions, fines, or academic penalties for student absences, shifting the focus towards supportive and preventative measures.
