The Georgia Department of Education reports that 20.7% of students statewide missed at least 10% of school days in 2024, as chronic absenteeism remains a post-pandemic challenge. In response, GaDOE has introduced an initiative to improve attendance, featuring a real-time dashboard, public awareness campaign, and targeted support for districts with higher need.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved a law revising school attendance policies to prevent expulsion solely for absenteeism. The update also sets new data reporting requirements and aligns with programs supporting alternative pathways to a diploma.
