Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools in the post-pandemic period, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, Georgia Department of Education figures show. To address the trend, the department launched a statewide response that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness effort, and targeted assistance for high-need schools.
Georgia legislators revised school attendance regulations in 2025, passing a bill that prohibits the expulsion of students solely for absenteeism. The new law also implements additional reporting requirements and updates programs designed to help students achieve diplomas through alternative pathways. Details are available here.
