Dear Supporter, A bi-partisan bill to improve students’ school attendance and their academic success has cleared two key state legislative committees, but needs your support to advance to the next stage on its way to becoming law. More Info Under the measure, schools with 10 percent or more of its students deemed chronically absent would have to convene a coalition made up of key school staff and at least one parent to review school absentee data and work together to develop a schoolwide plan to address the problem. Please send a message today that this legislation is important to New Jersey parents. Learn more. The legislation is in response to ACNJ’s September report, Showing Up Matters, the State of Chronic Absenteeism in New Jersey. Read the report to learn more about chronic absenteeism in New Jersey. Sincerely, Cecilia Zalkind |
