This bill establishes a grant program to help local educational agencies (LEAs) reduce chronic absenteeism and create safe learning environments in public elementary and secondary schools. The Secretary of Education would award grants to State educational agencies (SEAs), prioritizing states with high absenteeism rates or vulnerable student populations, which would then provide subgrants to LEAs. Local educational agencies could use these funds for various activities, including hiring counselors, mental health professionals, social workers, or family liaisons, and offering stipends for teachers to conduct home visits for chronically absent students. Funds could also support programming to address absenteeism and improve safety, cover transportation costs, and facilitate research and data collection on absenteeism patterns. LEAs would be required to report on the impact of these funds and their success in reducing chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the bill mandates a study by the Comptroller General on chronic absenteeism and school safety. This study would examine evidence-based interventions to reduce absenteeism and improve student achievement and well-being, with a report submitted to Congress and the Secretary within one year.
