In Absent from School, Gottfried and Hutt offer a comprehensive and
timely resource for educators and policy makers seeking to
understand the scope, impact, and causes of chronic student
absenteeism. The editors present a series of studies by leading
researchers from a variety of disciplines that address which
students are missing school and why, what roles schools themselves
play in contributing to or offsetting patterns of absenteeism, and
ways to assess student attendance for purposes of school
accountability. The contributors examine school-based initiatives
that focus on a range of issues, including transportation, student
health, discipline policies, and protections for immigrant
students, as well as interventions intended to improve student
attendance. Only in the past two or three years has chronic
absenteeism become the focus of attention among policy makers,
civil rights advocates, and educators. Absent from School provides
the first critical, systematic look at research that can inform and
guide those who are working to ensure that every child is in school
and learning every day.
