Missing 10 percent of the school year is an average of two days per month or one month per year.  \nChronic absenteeism detracts from learning and is a proven early warning sign of academic risk and school dropout. Chronic absenteeism isn’t just a matter of truancy or skipping school; chronically absent students are at risk no matter what the reason for their absence. Even the most thoughtful efforts to reduce dropout rates, address the achievement gap and ensure all students receive a quality education are threatened by the problem of chronic absenteeism. When students miss school, they miss opportunities to learn.  \nNationwide, a staggering number of children are chronically absent, often at a very young age and often without attracting attention or intervention.  \nA snapshot of chronic absenteeism shows 5 million to 8 million students across the U. S. miss nearly a month of school each year.1  \nAddressing the Health-Related Causes of Chronic Absenteeism: A Toolkit for Action 3  \nWHAT CAUSES CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM  \nAttendance is connected to multiple physical, social and environmental factors at the individual, family, community, school and district levels. Students miss school for a variety of reasons that researchers group into three categories:  \n\n| CATEGORY | OVERVIEW |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Barriers | Students cannot attend school because of barriers such as unmanaged chronic health conditions (for example, asthma), homelessness or a lack of transportation. |  |  |\n| Aversions | Students will not attend school due to feelings of aversion that may be related to anxiety, depression, bullying, a negative school climate, overly punitive discipline policies or lack of engaging instruction. |  |  |\n| Myths | Students do not attend school because families are unaware of how absences, even excused, can significantly impact learning, especially in the early years. Student may also miss school due to misunderstandings or fear surrounding health-relate","cbCaiaCcsvy30VrV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaCcsvy30VrV","pdf",13542642,31,"English","# Table of Contents\n## Understand Chronic Absenteeism + Student Health\n## Take Action\n## Evidence-Based Solutions That Make a Difference\n## Conclusion\n## References\n## About Healthy Schools Campaign","[{\"question\":\"How is chronic absenteeism defined in this toolkit?\",\"answer\":\"Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 10 percent or more of the school year for any reason.
