Post-pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the GaDOE started a statewide campaign with an attendance dashboard, awareness efforts, and extra support for districts with the most need to improve attendance rates.
Georgia lawmakers updated school attendance laws in 2025 to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism and introduced new reporting rules, linking with diploma pathways for alternative graduation options. More details can be found here.
