Every school day counts.

📚 Chronic absenteeism remains one of the most urgent challenges facing schools today. When students miss school, they lose more than lessons. They lose connection, momentum, and opportunity. The good news: data can help us spot the warning signs early and respond before students fall behind. Join The Hunt Institute on Thursday, October 15, at 2 p.m. for a special episode of Homeroom with Education Leaders | Beyond Attendance: Addressing Chronic Absenteeism and Student Persistence. Leaders from the courtroom, the classroom, and the community will share what's actually working, including: ✅ Practical strategies for using data to uncover the root causes of absenteeism ✅ Proven approaches for identifying barriers early and directing resources where they matter most ✅ Real-world lessons on keeping students engaged, persisting, and on track Featuring: 🎙️ Dr. Carolyn Gentle-Genitty, CEO and Founder, Attendance USA Inc. 🎙️ Dr. Amy Carter, Superintendent, Meridian Public School District 🎙️ Dr. Michelle Gough, General Counsel, SchoolStatus Whether you're a policymaker, district leader, educator, or advocate, you'll leave with ideas you can put to work right away. Save your seat today through the link in our bio.
