As someone who’s been deeply involved in the fight to reduce chronic absenteeism in the Clark County School District (CCSD) in Nevada, I’m pleased to share how our whole-community approach is bringing students back to the classroom and improving school culture. Chronic absenteeism has plagued schools across the nation, so this challenge isn’t unique to our district—which serves a diverse and growing student population in Las Vegas and its surrounding communities—but we are using some unique tools to address it. As a result we’re seeing a shift: our district has reduced chronic absenteeism by an estimated 9% in just one academic year.
