Too many students hit the chronic absenteeism threshold before schools have a chance to intervene in a meaningful way. Despite increased focus, most districts are still reacting too late, and the numbers reflect it.

But some districts are beating the averages, year over year. What’s different?

In this 30-minute Ed Talk, you’ll learn how leading districts are targeting students earlier, with better information, and letting automation handle the volume so their people can focus on the students who need the most support.

Bonus: Attendees who join the live event will be able to participate in a ThoughtExchange workshop to share and rank attendance best practices from their peers.***
