California has recognized the power of chronic absence as a tool for better understanding poor academic performance by integrating it into the state’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and including it as a school quality measure in the state plan for the nation’s new education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) .  \nAs a result, chronic absence is included as a measure in the California School Dashboard. Additionally, other federal and state policy requirements, such as the local school wellness policy, create new opportunities to set goals, plan actions and leverage new resources to address chronic absence.  \nWhile the root causes of chronic absence are multifold, student health issues, including physical and mental health issues, are a major factor. For example, asthma is a leading cause of absence, accounting for onethird of all days missed instruction. Children with persistent asthma are more than three times as likely to be chronically absent than their peers. The critical connection between health and chronic absence and the importance of addressing this issue was most recently recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in a new policy statement.  \nFortunately, there are numerous, evidence-based school health interventions to address the healthrelated causes of chronic absence. These include employing school health providers, such as school nurses and counselors, implementing universal, inclassroom breakfast programs, adopting positive school discipline policies, providing high quality physical education programming, comprehensive health  \neducation and many more.  \nThis document will help you:  \n· determine the health-related root causes of chronic absence in your school or district,  \n· identify what interventions are already underway or should be implemented,  \n· consider what funding sources are available to support those interventions,  \n· link efforts to address health-related causes of chronic absence with the policy priorities of your state education agency (SEA) or local education agency (LEA) .  \nWe have outlined six steps that will help you identify and address the health-related causes of chronic absence. We have included a Background Information Chart (page 6) with key reference information, as well as a Root Cause Analysis Chart (page 10) that your team can fill out.  \nCalifornia School Health + Chronic Absence Diagnostic Tool 1  \nSTEP ONE  \nExamine data and identify leading health conditions  \nDataQuest and data from your district can help you examine your chronic absence rates and differences in rates by subgroups. It is also critical to look at additional data to better understand the health conditions impacting student in your school or district. This can be accomplished by examining student level data collected through student health information cards, student Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and 504 plans, and school health provider records.  \nIn addition, aggregate level data available at the school and community level can be helpful in better understanding the health issues impacting students in your school or district. For example, all non-profit hospitals are required to complete community health needs assessments and make this information publicly available. These assessments usually draw on public health data and present a snapshot of the leading health issues impacting all populations in the community, including children. Community health data can also be accessed by contacting your local public health agency.  \nNote: In addition to collecting this type of data for this diagnostic tool, it is important to think about how to in","cbCainYVaFQQ0syB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainYVaFQQ0syB","pdf",557788,14,"English","# Introduction\n# Step One: Examine data and identify leading health conditions\n# Step Two: Identify appropriate interventions\n# Step Three: Identify potential funding streams","[{\"question\":\"How does the document define chronic absence, and why is it important?\",\"answer\":\"It defines chronic absence as missing 10 percent or more of school for any reason.
