All in For Attendance Act

This bill would change federal education law so that school districts can use certain federal grant funds for programs aimed at students who miss, or are at risk of missing, 10 percent or more of school days. Allowed uses include attendance tracking systems with early warning indicators, public reporting of absence data without personal information, family engagement and home visits, mentoring, partnerships with health, transportation, and community groups, restorative justice and social-emotional learning programs, and tutoring. School districts applying for these funds would have to promise not to use suspensions, fines, or academic penalties for students who have absences.
