City Leaders: Request for Assistance
Are you inspired by A Toolkit for City Leaders: Reducing Chronic Absence Starting in the Early Grades? Would you like some assistance in launching or running a campaign? This brief application will help us learn about your work so that we can best support you. Attendance Works helps schools, districts and cities improve school attendance and reduce chronic absence (when students miss 10% or more of school over the course of an academic year). If you haven’t read the Toollkit for City Leaders, please do so before submitting this form.
