However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to dealing with chronic absenteeism, which in itself can be multifaceted.
“It’s not typically one thing that causes chronic absenteeism. That’s why when we work with schools we try to define the root causes,” said Kristine Meurer, executive director for APS’ Student, Family and Community Supports Division.
Doctor appointments and illness are common, as are transportation issues, family obligations, tribal obligations or matters related to teen pregnancy. Also, when a family has to move from apartment to apartment, parents forget to withdraw their children, she said.
And when parents call the school attendance office, they are not required to provide details or give a reason, Meurer said.
