Efforts from the Georgia Department of Education include a new attendance dashboard, increased public outreach, and enhanced support for districts with greater needs to improve daily attendance.
Georgia lawmakers passed legislation in 2025 revising attendance rules to prohibit expulsion solely for students’ absenteeism. The legislation also requires new reporting and supports alternative pathways for students to earn diplomas. View the full law here.
