Truancy Reduction for Student Success Act of 2024

The Truancy Reduction for Student Success Act of 2024 requires the Office of the State Superintendent of Education to publish monthly absenteeism data on its website starting in the 2025-2026 school year. This data will include the total number of enrolled students, the chronic truancy rate, and the count of students in specific grade bands who missed at least 10%, 20%, 30%, or more than 30% of school days. The bill defines chronic truancy as having ten or more unexcused absences in a single school year and applies to all schools under the Office's authority. By making this information publicly available, the legislation aims to increase transparency regarding student attendance across the District of Columbia.
