Ohio’s Statewide Attendance Campaign
Join the coalition today.
Ohio has an attendance crisis. With 1 in 4 students missing more than 10% of school a year, we need your help reaching Ohio’s goal to cut chronic absenteeism in half by 2029. Attendance is a team sport and we need YOU on the team. Non-profits, businesses, healthcare providers, philanthropies, public agencies, civic, faith-based, and service organizations all have a role to play.
Why Does Attendance Matter?
Ohio has made a significant commitment to attendance. Governor DeWine and State Superintendent Steve Dackin are a part of the pledge to cut chronic absenteeism in half.
When students attend, they succeed. Students who are NOT chronically absent are:
-
3.9x more like to read on grade level by the end of 3rd grade
-
3x more likely to graduate on time!
How can you support the campaign?

Support the Statewide Campaign through message amplification – sharing attendance information and tips through your own networks and communications channels. Reach out to the audiences that depend on you for credible information and support. Share the impact of regular attendance with your workforce, clients, constituents, and congregations. When students attend, they can succeed.
