Chronic absenteeism continues to be a challenge in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reports. In response, GaDOE introduced a statewide effort that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public information campaign, and focused assistance for districts with greater needs to improve daily attendance.

Georgia lawmakers passed legislation in 2025 to update attendance policies, prohibiting schools from expelling students solely for absenteeism. The new law also establishes enhanced reporting requirements and supports programs that allow alternative paths to graduation. More details can be found here.
