Ever since the Browns established a partnership with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District in 2015, Dee Haslam and the Cleveland Browns Foundation have prioritized eliminating chronic student absenteeism across Northeast Ohio.
One of the campaigns meant to focus solely on addressing student absenteeism is the Get 2 School, Stay in the Game! Network. Established in 2019 to improve the attendance rates across 14 school districts which has since expanded to 16 districts the initiative aims to break down several of the barriers that could keep students from regularly attending class.
