Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The GaDOE has initiated a statewide program featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and additional support for high-need districts to improve daily attendance.
Georgia legislators approved a measure in 2025 to revise attendance laws, prohibiting expulsions solely for absenteeism. The law also mandates new reporting and synchronizes with programs that help students attain diplomas by alternative means. More information can be found here.
