Apply to become a Learning District or a Planning District

Your district currently: Believes that school attendance is a top priority. Demonstrates a long-term commitment and philosophy for action. Aligns with the SITG! Network framework for developing a community and data-centered plan.

Your superintendent and staff: Approve the Stay in the Game! partnership. Empower building of an attendance team or embedding attendance as a priority into the work of an existing team.

Data is key to running a successful attendance campaign: Districts already collect baseline data to set goals and consistently track, analyze, and measure attendance progress. Districts revise programming based on data insights.
