Driving Attendance and District Funding: The Power of Alternative Transportation
Date & Time: Tuesday, August 12th at 2 p.m. ET
Transportation is one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—levers districts have to improve student attendance and protect critical funding. As districts work to overcome chronic absenteeism, ensuring students have access to safe, reliable transportation has emerged as a primary challenge—one that shapes both equity efforts and funding outcomes.
Whether your district is funded through Average Daily Attendance (ADA) or total enrollment, early-year attendance is more critical than ever. With many states calculating funding during the beginning weeks, missing even a few days can have a tremendous impact on student learning, resource allocation, and long-term financial stability.
Join education and transportation leaders to explore how alternative transportation can help districts reduce absenteeism, improve access for vulnerable student populations, and position themselves to secure more consistent funding.
What You'll Learn:
- How attendance impacts funding in both ADA-based and enrollment-based states
- Why transportation plays a key role in chronic absenteeism—especially among at-risk students
- How districts are leveraging alternative transportation to improve equity, compliance, and funding outcomes
