detention, loss of privileges, exclusion from activities, parental contact, conferences, X tardies equal 1 absence, other school-based consequences or interventions)
• 16% of LEAs suspend or expel for tardies • 77% of LEAs have disciplinary consequences for unexcused absences (in-school

PCSB’s role in addressing chronic absenteeism:-Policies that focus on improvement of attendance
-Citywide Collaboration
PCSB Truancy Policy• Reduce absenteeism by helping schools focus resources on families who need the
most help while allowing schools to show improvements within the school year.• PCSB identifies cohorts of students by quarter that have exceeded 10 unexcused
absences (in future, may change this to “absent”)• School must reduce the number of additional absences for the cohort while
preventing new students from being identified
Citywide Collaboration• Data sharing with other agencies in DC to assist them in implementing their
truancy policies (CFSA)
