Chronic absenteeism continues to pose challenges in Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024. The Georgia Department of Education responded with a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness campaigns, and targeted support to help high-need districts improve daily attendance rates. More information is available at GaDOE’s website.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved changes to the state’s attendance laws prohibiting expulsions solely for chronic absenteeism. The revised law established new reporting standards and aims to help students access diploma-track alternatives.
