Chronic Absenteeism
- “School attendance is a substantial factor in student success. Students who are chronically absent do not perform as well as their peers who show up”
How does it impede on a students education?

Physical + Mental Health Perspective - Part time- Lowered grades- No true knowledge retained- Socially isolated- Worsened anxiety- Fear of being seen as ‘lesser
than’ or ‘weak’- Unable to fully recover
- Part time- Lowered grades- No true knowledge retained - Emotionally isolated- Worsened mental health- Sense of being a ‘failure’- Insignificant in face of trauma- Initial grieving period cut short

Existing Programs - The majority of students are not aware of these programs
What programs currently exist that are in place to help?

504 Plan “Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973...federal law that protects students from discrimination based on disability”
“Section 504 defines disability as a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities”

School RecognitionRecognize schools that are opening doors to equity,
access, opportunity and hope to students
Possible addition to SBE’s recognition criteria
- Students with 504 or SPED graduation rates data- Statewide student culture and climate survey
AWSL is interested in pursuing this

Advocacy, Awareness,
Implementation- The crucial problem with
these programs is that students in need of these resources are not informed of them
How do we spread the word about these programs?

Students Rights Handbooks + PostersThe state neither requires a student handbook nor dictates that particular information be required.
There may be ways to influence handbooks short of regulation.
WSSDA may be a good partner in influencing the student handbook!
Raise awareness about 504 and IEP
Appealing to students
Simplistic and informative
Schools, counseling centers, doctors offices, medical facilities, School Nurses Corp, etc.

Summary - Students are resilient! But students shouldn’t have to do it alone. What can we do?
![Page 12: Washington State Board of Education Student Presentation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61ff38aa944644682f1241a4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
