Reply to comment by MTGBruhs in CT schools see continuing rise in chronic absenteeism by ctmirror

Did you read the article?

"To help combat the student chronic absenteeism crisis, the state launched a new program called the Learner Engagement and Attendance Program (LEAP) in April 2021 for 15 Connecticut school districts"

"The report claims that “attendance rates increased by about four percentage points in the month immediately following the first LEAP visit” and highlighted Hartford Public Schools for attendance rates increasing by “nearly 30 percentage points in the six months or more after treatment.”"

It was wise of the state to use Covid funds for this purpose since this was directly affected by covid but that doesn't change what I said about the current American cirriculum. I don't think it should come as a suprize that kids are skipping school after spending 2 yrs at home and getting some of the worst education that we've ever seen
