DC leaders are facing challenges with chronic student absenteeism, which has long-term consequences such as academic failure, dropout rates, and involvement in criminal activities. The issue is exacerbated by cuts in teachers and resources, hindering efforts to address the crisis. Chronic absenteeism is linked to difficulties in reading at grade level and graduating high school, highlighting the need for increased engagement and reduced absenteeism to support student success.
