ONGB is committed to addressing chronic absenteeism at the school level. By equipping educators with culturally responsive practices, advanced tools, and actionable strategies, ONGB fosters an environment where students can thrive academically and emotionally.
THE PROBLEM
Chronic absenteeism disrupts learning and creates lasting challenges:
When students are absent, they miss crucial lessons, classroom interactions, and the opportunity to engage in collaborative learning. This loss accumulates over time, leaving gaps in knowledge that can hinder academic progress, test performance, and overall success in school.
Students who lack a sense of belonging or connection to their school are more likely to disengage from their education entirely. This disconnection leads to chronic absenteeism, poor academic performance, and, in many cases, an increased risk of dropping out.
Chronic absenteeism directly impacts these funding streams, creating financial shortfalls that affect staffing, extracurricular programs, classroom supplies, and other critical aspects of a well-rounded education. This financial strain limits the school’s ability to serve its students effectively.
