Absence Reasons Study
Which students miss school, where and why?
First of its kind study in Texas (maybe US?)
Data to drive regional decision-making
How community systems interact with student attendance
and achievement
St. David’s Foundation & Central Health funded
because there was no good info on interaction of health
and absences
Collected, analyzed and mapped detailed student
attendance data from CTX schools that were a
representative sample of regional population
