To address this, GaDOE began a statewide campaign featuring a real-time attendance dashboard and targeted support for districts needing the most help.
In 2025, Georgia passed new school attendance legislation prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The update also introduces additional reporting requirements and aligns with alternative diploma programs for students.
